Yes of course just like everywhere else is.

After speaking with the sisters, I decided my best course of action would be to screen two other women who the sisters said would like to replace the couple on the lease.

Try looking at some of the larger offices in your area, especially ones that also facilitate real estate courses - reach out to the managing Broker and ask them to recommend a newer agent to you that would do it for a reduced listing fee - worth a try!

@Michael Guzik  those that get RICH  ( and that's a relative word of course) in wholesaling do it two ways.1. they sell how to.. ( guru's) make no mistake the top HOW to GURUS make insane money INSANE.2.

at around 8% For a long term loan you would land around the 6 to 7% interest rate at 75% of the LTV points would be around 1.5 to 2 Credit Score would need to be around 650 to get something done at these number If lower you would have to go HML points and rates would be higher of course 12 month loan with options

Fairly new to REI as well but over the course of 2 months have learned so much. 

There are of course people who do it every day but for your first property, it's probably not the best course of action.  

of course, i am going to get multiple coats of poly to finish it off. 

It is super competitive in So Cal and can be hard to stand out.As for the original poster if you want to wholesale that's fine but most "training courses" aren't worth the money they charge.

I don't have real-estate experience, so I would need to learn thru program or on my own crash course on things like: easements, do I need LLC in each state I would buy in, learning to sell on terms (financing), how to close (can I do it myself), how good copy looks for mailings, etc.
