There are other areas here that would be great for fix and flips, but they are very active and have very few foreclosures.

I have been gathering ideas and working out marketing strategies for the past year or so and I am ready to step out of the real estate office I currently work under and begin my own.The area certainly isn't lacking in the number of current real estate companies nor in the number of active realtors but there are some areas and targets that are NOT being approached by anyone.

I love the youth- USC has like 25000 students, so its a really alive, active community.

How many owners in your area, and even in her building, have recently walked away, and how is the COA paying for THOSE dues and assessments?

I see that you've become active elsewhere on the forums.

When making a bid I look at no longer 12 month mainly 6 months comps, previous purchase price, rehab and holding cost closing fees associated with the deal and commissions along with tax assessments.

So that means knowing your farm area and having the ability to quickly assess the house's ARV.

You won't see that activity from me.Please accept my apology for the personal offense you have taken.

The main guy is an active real estate investor, and it sort of motivates me to hear him share his adventures.

I like trulia and active rain, zillow not so much....
