But again it's an apples to oranges comparison with the US.

I would actually say if you are newer to the game it would be better to start outside the city to get your legs, then move into the city.

HOA will wake up tomorrow and will raise your monthly fee because they want to put red flowers instead of the orange ones they have in place right now and that will eat up your cash flow.

FATCO insures there you can call my rep George Sines in Orange County for a TO name reference.     

For regular tenants I provide damage free hooks, felt pads for furniture legs, a plunger, and some toilet paper in the holder. 

Real Estate brokers license in 3 states which required of course all the study material to pass first one ( CA) was toughest since I was 18 and just learning although grew up in the business so I had somewhat of a leg up as i understood the process at least. 

More likely have done an inspection prior show you the property to an investor and have decent rehab calculation. and also have 100% control of the property (that means no daisy chain) , (gets all the deal through his one marketing, all off-market deals) (works with a good title company and provides Marketable title) Pros:(with a pro wholesaler) Predictable SpreadAll done for you, all leg work. ( preliminary inspection ) Personal Service (helping to get your criteria and deal, practically for free)  (until you decide to commit to a deal) All negotiation Done for you with the seller, ( normally Will handle all issues with the seller)  (less headache for the investor)They are investing all the marketing from their own money ( not the investor) Exclusive deal ( off market) (NOT ON THE MLS)Less risky than buying in an auction. 

Hi Paulina I'm in Orange County Ca south of LA.

Not understanding that in Real Estate you compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

Can anyone recommend a good general contractor in Orange County?
