    @Chris G. Great work on the renovation.  I would make a small investment in professional photos for this property.

    Amazing job man!

    Just curious about something... How long have you been flipping homes? I feel that the market in SoCal is crazy expensive... I've been trying to get into real estate investing for a while but lagged to pull the trigger. It's impossible for a newb. 

    Again, amazing job with this home!

    Nice,  like the kitchen floor too.  Is it another tile job?    I know there is a lot of detail work we cant see too.

     They cost more to buy, but the margins are better in the end.

    Chris - congrats!

    Looks like a nice deal all around.

    If you don't mind me asking, how did you come across the property? I'm always keeping an eye out for something similar, in the same area.

    Excellent work.  I'm sure with all that custom look like the floors it will sell fast in this market.

    You got excellent prices on the new electric, roof, and plumbing.

    Fantastic job!
