Remember, any time heat meets cold you're gonna get moisture so it's to be expected at times especially hot summer days.

This is a great way to delegate tasks such as accounting, marketing, cold calling, and other needs, so you can focus on more financially rewarding tasks. 

I am not a fan of cold-calling and I more so want buyers who are in need of homes so I can show homes rather than try and get listings from people who are already resistant and don't really *want* to list with a professional.

Large deals can sometimes years and are for more experienced agents.If you can build your momentum before getting out of school it might work, but coming in with a cold start it will take some time.

We're looking into estimates now, so we can know the cold hard cash value of what we're requesting and or what we'd be left to spend if we incur the defects ourselves.

Hello I am seeking general advice from any experienced rehabbers (LA rehabbers preferably) that are willing to share their cold-hard truths or suggestions to someone currently in search of rehab opportunities in and around LA county (orange county too).

The marketing you do should be something that you are comfortable with or good at.For me personally, I was really good at cold calling, so I invested money in an auto-dialer, expireds/fsbo lists, neighborhood search. etc. 

I don't mind cold-calling (used to it from 10+ years of being a Realtor myself) to find the right MF...but I also want to get my grounding on what the better areas are and best types of investing for this area...

So my first question - Is the best way/ most common way for finding deals as a wholesaler to do mailers, driving for dollars and cold calls???

I would have said no based on just the cold call alone.Maybe it's just me, but I don't like people being pushy like that and looking up my number to call me unless I invite it.
