Hey @Juan Acevedo First off i do not confuse fact with opinion, If you have a good system and are good at your craft you can definatly make money in los angeles flipping and or wholesaling, never be afraid of competition you should embrace that and create a system to be part of that competition thats what makes this all so fun, not everyone can do it, me personally i love the La market as soon as i get a house completed i have multiple offers in the first couple weeks and i can care less about the competition, i focus on my structure that works for me, If you can make it in La you will find many other areas easy, I'm not far from you if you like you can come visit one of my flips and gain a little experience, i have a couple SFR's i purchased in the La area I'm almost complete with the rehab, good luck to you.

You will be better off going to a real estate networking event where you can meet multiple people instead of 1 person via coffee.You can meet someone at a networking event and ask them for coffee / lunch at a later time if you click or want to learn more from the person.i would suggest Meetup.com, eventbrite or biggerpockets to find networking events.

As I pay off the remainder of my bad debt and solidify my credit in order to qualify for a HELOC, I’m on the hunt for trustworthy people to team up with in Indiana, Kansas/Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, and possibly Texas.

@Sandy ChauI believe we base it more off tax assessed valueI

Insurances, contractors, realtors, off market properties, cold calling, etc all seemed so difficult....BUT...After 1 year, I've now completed multiple rehabs, have more properties in the pipeline, have investors on board, and all of those worries are now just day to day operations.

I work three days a week as an MRI technologist currently with 4 days off, so my thought is that I could definitely stand to pick up extra in hopes to make those connections!

My wife will not be here much in season, we live in Austin TX during the off-season.

With a typical BRRRR deal you would like to refinance out ALL your money because part of it will pay off the original loan.
