I’m new to wholesaling and currently working on building my buyers list. For those actively flipping in CA, what areas are you seeing the best margins in right now?

Margins move. Buyers stay consistent.
Instead of asking where the best margins are, ask where buyers are still closing deals every month.
Start pulling cash sales in Long Beach, Compton, Lakewood, Norwalk, parts of Inland Empire, and older working class neighborhoods where value add opportunities still exist.
Call flippers directly and ask: What areas are you buying right now? What price range works? Light rehab or full gut? What spread do you need?
That conversation will teach you more than any forum answer.
As a wholesaler, your real product is not the house. It’s certainty. Bring the right deal to the right buyer and margins take care of themselves.
