Hey @Juan Acevedo First off i do not confuse fact with opinion, If you have a good system and are good at your craft you can definatly make money in los angeles flipping and or wholesaling, never be afraid of competition you should embrace that and create a system to be part of that competition thats what makes this all so fun, not everyone can do it, me personally i love the La market as soon as i get a house completed i have multiple offers in the first couple weeks and i can care less about the competition, i focus on my structure that works for me, If you can make it in La you will find many other areas easy, I'm not far from you if you like you can come visit one of my flips and gain a little experience, i have a couple SFR's i purchased in the La area I'm almost complete with the rehab, good luck to you.

I love the quaintness of this city and the surrounding areas have fun activities for families. 

It was not fast, not easy, not fun (at all), and required significant capital.

Have some fun if you’re going to blow $50,000.  

It's always fun to be on this journey with others who are doing the same thing.

@terryfreeTake a look at this game:http://www.learn4good.com/games/tycoon/realestatei...Not exactly as good as your idea, but any game involving real estate investing is fun to me!

You might be able to buy the tool yourself...I never have....9x out of 10 I can figure out a way to get in...unlocked window, open door, key under the mat, or neighbor has a key, etc.Good luck...have fun...and find some bargains.

I guess I've just been scared of diving into a deal and finding out after that I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew.

@Jay Hinrichs That would be a fun trip!"
