After reviewing a pdf on Reduction in Housing Services on the HCIDLA website... its RAC 410.. in case anyone wants to look it up..

Common options are cash, personal check, money order, online payment, etc.

Which is why wholesaling is much more attractive because it requires no start up money. you cannot successfully wholesale as its taught by on line courses or gurus if you have no money.. the successful wholesalers be them licensed or not spend THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS a month on lead generation.you could bird dog.. maybe with limited captial just gas and a phone and hope that you get paid. 

I will also continue reviewing and looking for seller financing opportunities. 

If the zoning code is online I can do a quick review to see what you can build.

I believe this will drive down their prices as additional A-Class units come online and vacancies creep up.

Hey John,Thank you for taking the time to review my report.

It is pretty amazing stuff. 80+% of our leads/rentals come from online lead generation so it is very efficient and we text message the vast majority of leads which saves tons of time. 

The firm has decent reviews on Yelp, but what else can I do in terms of research?

Does anyone know of a hard money lender that would float money to purchase an online auction property?
