I have zero experience with this but how would you deal with electric and other utilities? 

I'm gonna play a small hand and see if I can get a counter offer accepted for the 2 empty lots next to my personal home.

And can you tell me your experience with them.

I came here for the deep well of knowledge and experience that members of this community have.

I agree, although in my experience most often when people hear that "P" word they draw back and.... ruminate on "loosing" a % of there company, investment, cash-flow or profits. 

Who dose Non qm HELOC loans and what Bank have you had great experience with?

If you have experience in this type of matter its as easy as stating. 

Like Daniel mentioned, amenities could play a big role even if the price is a bit higher.

It will have everything required and you can add on to it based on your experiences. 

Side note: I've been seeing recently in the CA market, its become saturated with "flippers" who want to land their first deal and don't mind overspending on a potential flip just to get experience.
