its certainly happening in the bay area.. in Portland we are just about at our 07 peak so it stands to reason just with inflation that we can see new peaks  11 years later..I mean when median price point in Portlandia was 120k in the late 80s  .. it was not going to stay at 120k forever just like now with our median over 300k  and in the peak it was right there .. it can make new highs, at least I am thinking so.also much more equity coming into the market than what was happening in 05 to 07 were every one was so focused on 100% leverage you know OPM  refi to you die.. max equity.. what I see now in my new home communities are buyers aschewing max equity.. don't want to pay PMI and are putting 10 to 20% down and in my last 23 homes community we sold 3 for cash.. at 450k each.. that was UNHEARD of last go around.. so in my mind whatever is happening today has stronger foundation for a longer run.then you take all these folks buying rentals.. and I see it every day on my HUDS that I am signing all over the country.. and its cash sales and 20% down or more.. now BRRR has come back that is 100% financing .. but its limited.. were as in 05 ish that was 95% of how people were buying rentals in the mid west.. so very few had any real skin in the game.. as compared to today..

Hello all,I am looking for a local (Ventura/Los Angeles) bookkeeper or accountant whom can get me setup with a software based financial program.I would like someone who specializes in quickbooks or another platform, with a focus in long term real estate rentals.

For now, I'm focusing on wholesale to help save up money to fund my first flip.From the research I have done I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I need to start my business or form a LLC (of course for a name, website, flyers, etc.) and to start putting in crazy amounts of leg work like driving for dollars and getting some leads together and started up in order to put together a profile to find potential cash buyers..Is there any advice you could give me that would help out with the beginning stages of starting up my wholesale business?

Brokers it.Stay focused, and try to surround yourself with positive people.

., or... maybe it weeds out the undesirable potential clients, so I can focus on reasonable, like minded, common sense clients?

Max Malec I would focus on finding another job first before doing anything real estate related.

However, your focus and determination brought you back here and we are glad to have you back!
