I was able to drive the property a couple of days later, and I realized no i should not chase a rezone, and actually property similar to this will be removed from my list. 

Or if you're willing to hustle, you can try door-knocking and driving around and looking for FSBOs. 

I’m relatively new to wholesaling, and I’ve been diving into the process—cold calling, direct mail, and driving for dollars.

With a background, $40K saved, and drive, real estate can be a great path to financial freedom.Good Luck!

And as I continue to see more and more "we buy houses, cash" advertising, even the distressed homeowners are likely getting multiple offers from wholesalers, driving up the wholesaler price, which means higher price for you.

Plus, the sync issues with financial institutions drive me nuts.

Would prefer somewhere within driving distance, which I think is doable.

I've seen some with 475k pricing that Gross 90-100K which is a very solid return without diving deep into numbers.Thanks in advance. 

If that is you, stop all of it and spend at least one hour every day looking at deals during the week and 5 hours on the weekend driving around and looking at listings and neighborhoods!

The contractor didn't want to pick them - it was a 15 mile drive (in California traffic, this would take a lot of time).
