The rentals are a nice way to acquire passive income but I want to turn real estate investing into my full time job.I have been looking into a bunch of areas such as Flips, Wholesaling, Pre-foreclosures etc. 

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

Hi Sophia, Investing in multifamily properties can offer economies of scale, diversification, and potentially higher cash flow.

The buyer's lender now says that the buyer needs $8k to close and upped their offer to $222k vs the original offer of $220k.

It has nothing to do with the financial performance of the offering.

I had been considering offering a rent-to-own contract with recovery protections if the deal went sour. 

These markets often offer attractive cap rates and stable rental demand.

@Alan McKendreeHappy to share with you what we are now offering for people looking to learn

@Les Jean-Pierre I would recommend using direct mail and even cold calling properties right when they enter pre-foreclosure.

If investing in Southern California proves to be challenging due to high costs, it may be worth considering other markets outside the state that offer lower entry barriers, high rental demand, and favorable regulations for investors.
