For any wholesalers out there, how are you reducing the number of deals that fall apart at the title company due to liens or defects?  

My utlimate goal is to be a Wholesaler.

@Kevin Devine  Identify an investor or wholesaler in your area who does 20+ deals per year.  

If it really truly is a great deal then get it under contract and wholesale it.

I did my first deal on my own when I was 19 ( I closed on my birthday) and during my first year of investing I closed 6 transactions 2 Bird dogs, 1 wholesale, 2 hard money loans and a home purchase. 

@Robin McGee - If you believe you have a good set of vacant homes to start with, I would look to maybe partner with an experienced wholesaler or flipper to figure out your process.

With your team's background in construction and interior work, I would say you should look into flipping and if a deal comes along that you don't have the bandwidth for, you have the ability to wholesale it with a good estimate on rehab/renovation costs.There should be an informal BP Meet-Up soon that I would recommend attending, they are a great way to network with other investors in a low-pressure atmosphere.

Hello BPAs you must know i'm working on my first investment deal I don't want to wholesale the deal I'm looking to do a fix and flip but I need financing.

For those of you who are currently flipping houses in the Bay Area are you finding the deals via direct marketing, MLS, Realtors, or wholesalers?

Here is some basic information you should try to provide, but throw in whatever else you think would be helpful.Type of Property (SF, MF, commercial, condo, etc.)Type of Deal (buy and hold, rehab flip, wholesale double close, etc.)Are you or your buddy putting up any money for a down payment?
