Thank you Christian, I have to digest well what you have written and an extra thanks for offering to answer more questions.

There are innumerable empty commercial properties of every kind in Los Angeles .

How can I take advantage of the existing situation not having much money to invest?

An answer from someone who had experienced such a situation some years ago and was able to make money would be certainly most appreciated

Is it customary to include in the Option to Purchase agreement a clause stating that the owner agrees NOT to attempt to sell the property to any other party while the option is in effect?

I should have been  specific while posting my question.

So, this is a private residence found on Craigslist - by owner.

I spoke with someone who listed it on behalf of the owner and emailed me the Appraised Record where the owner of public record is .....INC.

Do I need to ask for a name of the individual who owns it when submitting the offer?

A single family house is owned by a small corporation.

To who do I make an offer ?

I live in Arcadia and I'd like to partner with an investor residing in my area who also knows and has done deals remotely in the markets outside California. I am able to generate the sellers leads and pre-screen them and you would take over from there allowing me to learn. You will keep100% of the proceeds from the transaction.

One need to start somewhere.

 I would like to generate some cash, possibly fast. Which method is easier to learn and implement.

Lease option assignment or wholesaling assignment?

Which one would be the preferred method to start with for a newbie?

I am in contact with a wholesaler having a house under contract. I know an investor who could be interested in buying it. How do I secure my position to avoid the transaction going behind my back?

There is a property in WA state ( I live in CA )  consisting of 4 parcels with 2 homes on 2 of them. I have a problem with estimating the value to make an offer. Can an experienced investor contact me and help?
