Ryan Bassinger I am in a similar situation as you, but I will be moving back to Ventura county with a VA loan that I will be able to use next summer.

Hey y'all, my name is Alex Brown and I'm looking to network with other investors/wholesalers in Ventura county.

Yeah, 1.25% was what it's been as long as I've been around, but let me know if you find something different (though LA lowering taxes would be shocking, lol) - Ventura County over here is 1.1%.5.

Eventually I would like to diversify and have properties in Arizona as well, and perhaps it is THOSE properties that will lend themselves more to BRRRR and out here in LA/Orange County/Ventura County I will just focus more on flips. 

@Jonathan Jaime Velarde I am a veteran currently living in Ventura county and am looking too!

@Evan Ventura,You'll want to get in touch with a JD/CPA who has been mentioned here on BP, Mark Kohler of KKOS Lawyers(.com).

skip the math test .. then do them at the end.. if you want other wise just mark C on each and you will get one right... you should get 90% or better on the rest of the test and the math is irrelevant. that said I am a map guy and love legal descriptions and all that stuff and know it better than most.. having sold land most of my career.. but I simply did not want to waste time during the test when I know I had already aced it.. 

Do you have any recommendations for VA lenders in the SoCal area, Ventura county specifically?

@Art Maydan,i would take a box of donuts and couple coffees to your local home depot/lowes/menards/ace hardware. and talk with the guy in hardware department. and seeing you don't know about studs, to the guy in lumber too. you really need a bit of education on construction side....

The property is in Ventura County, California.
