I am also interested in the wholesaling part of real estate, I live in Northern California where, is a good website to buy distressed property leads.

You didn't give a price for the house that would generate the $1300-$1500 rent, but my guess (and this is a total SWAG based on what I've heard from others in that market), is you'll be "all in" around $150K-$200K

Been looking on Loopnet, does anyone have any other sources for leads? 

Goal for this first property is to primarily generate cash-flow, and secondarily for its appreciation -- whether forced or by the market.

My experience so far has lead me to believe this community is the best place for any new investor to be.

I have a lead and the offer wont last much longer but I need help getting started with due diligence.

Included should be professional photos, marketing on all avenues, showing the property, they have an application, they present applicants to you for approval, they generate the lease, collect funds, and provide keys to the new tenant.For turnover, I recommend have the realtor visit the property and create a condition report, which reports to you just that, but you want to know what needs to be done to the property to get up to rentable condition again. 

Welcome Richard, I'm in South Jersey but from Central Jersey (Monmouth County/ Shore Points- working leads in both Central and Southern).

@Mindy Jensen and @Scott Trench  Ok best website ever.  Thought it might come in handy for finding Scott's dad jokes.  Love the show,  keep it up, its a great weekly inspiration.https://dadjokegenerator.com/

I am definitely interested in meeting up, but would have to have some lead time as I'm currently living out of state.
