, a lot of investors like to purchase there but have found other better sources for the different products we purchase, one of the products where we can get better prices is precisely appliances.If your prices are better, then please call my contractor Mac Salcido at Urban Construction (909) 732 7434.Anyways, I always recommend these 3 things to people beginning in Real Estate Investing:1) Do a lot of research here2) Do not spend a lot of money with coaches, it would be much better to put that money to work and learn from experience, I'm not against coaches or education, but you need to be careful as there are some that are really bad3) There are many real estate clubs out there, visit them, select your favorites and meet other investors working your area.

We handle acquisition, construction and sale of fix and flips and they just fund.
