Orange Big Box is a mainstay for me because I know their inventory and their higher end stuff is okay for most rehabs.

I find I get better selection and pricing driving up to Orange County, which is a major pain.

Go for the low hanging fruit.

If its orange peel, they'll need to tape it, then come back and float it once minimum if they bedded with hot mud and likely twice.

Does bird dogging still exist in orange county ca?

Just because YOU don't like fruit cake Phillip, doesn't mean you have to complain about it to everyone that will listen.

Comparing renting to flipping is comparing apples to oranges.

You don't really need to have anything that amazing.I would say that if you have one of those neon green or orange "We Buy Houses" obnoxious looking things (Which is fine to make a statement to get a sellers attention) I would make a 2nd professional looking card to hand out to potential buyers and other professionals.

I realize that the areas that I'm looking at in California (Long Beach and Orange County) are fairly solid markets and the properties are turnkey, however I'm sure that I could get a similar 40-50 unit building elsewhere with what I'd spend on a 8 unit building in So Cal.

Hope 2022 proves just as fruitful.
