I did look at a house that I wanted to offer on where the managing broker of the agency sent me to look at the place by myself, I went directly back to the office and they were already closed I sent her a text and told her I wanted to write an offer.

Ronnie you probably would do WAY BETTER finding the most successful person in your office doing what you want to be doing and offer to take them to dinner or lunch ON YOU.If you don't have someone really successful doing what you want to at the next level then time to find another brokerage to go to where they are at.Think of real estate coaches as kind of like the real estate guru's selling investors on systems.

Most brick and mortar brokerages are either franchise models or independent brokerages that operate out of local offices. 

While there are certainly a handful of providers in San Diego, you definitely do not need or want to limit your search to your local market.Expertise, accessibility of support, and availability of the type of self-directed plans and services best suited to your particular investment goals are much more important than where the office is.  

Did you try the County or city office?

Speak with a Broker or Loan Officer that does a lot of rehab loans etc.

You can explore an institutional investor such as a family office or an individual who can bring the balance of the funds.Crowdfunding is another option, but that's basically syndicating. 

Our office, for example, charges $40 for NJ verifications and anyone out of State is $50.

Then, when they have enough small batches they will aggregate them and take them to the post office where they will sit for a week to 10 days while the post office schedules them for delivery.

They could also find out if they get any information from your county collector's office showing you as the responsible party for paying the taxes.
