I really enjoy reading what some people have to say because you can tell they put thought into what they say and draw from personal experience (no matter how vast) to help others.

California is such a vast state, that there are pockets where wholesaling is very profitable, and areas such as Orange County, where there are very few opportunities for salers from what I see.As for working as an agent, there's still a tight real estate market to contend with, so the deals aren't just falling in anyones lap, so .. what's the wholesale market where you live, and the traditional market that agents work?

Anyway, I have been torn between the east and west side as I see neighborhood grading differs vastly.

After 9/11 the Bush and Obama Admins vastly enhanced the powers of the President.

To your point, though, probably the vast majority of people do not spend the time and money necessary to either properly establish nor maintain their LLC.

Looks like your already in the thick of it, but there is always more to learn and do, this is the one place with a vast amount of individuals who are very knowledgeable, along with a lot of resources.  

I have worked in the food industry for 25 years as well as a real estate investor for 20 years.I see many people asking for advice, wanting to know what they need to do to be successful.One of the single biggest things you can do is so simple, costs almost nothing, and can separate you from the vast majority of people you are competing against.

I actually have a pretty vast set of resources that could help you put a team together as well as acquire great rehab properties for your portfolio.
