Still looking.. I've called most every REO broker or listing agents I can find. I did have a couple close calls, but no cigar. I have two offers out now. I am now starting to look into the LB/LA area seems to be a lot more going on out there.

At the risk of lacking focus I figure I need to expand my odds a bit, also it is interesting talking to people and hearing what they have to say..

In addition to contacting the brokers, I going to start contact sellers. I have a feeling something will happen soon. I'll update when it does happen..

I actually joined Iris's club last month after the first meeting really liked it. Big bonus is getting in the naked investors club.

Had to miss your talk last thursday, my son's b-day.. Hope it went well, was looking forward to see you guys again..

Hi Liam,

I'll be checking out one or both of the clubs upcoming meetings. Yes, let's get together, I'll PM ya and we can figure something out. Thanks for the info!

I've been away for the last week, otherwise I would have responded sooner :)

Thanks for the Reply!

This is my second post :).

Can somebody suggest a good RE Investment club in Orange County or Long Beach, CA?

I have been to the REI Club in LA, good club, but a little out of my area.

thanks!

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to this site (just found it last night) as well as a
newbie/wannabe RE Investor. What a great site! Thanks to all you experienced investors willing to take the time and share your hard earned knowledge!

My partner and I are newbie/wannabe RE investors. I am in the process of hammering out our business plan and looking to this site for feedback and advice on investing in Orange County, CA. (We have a 'significant' amount of cash to be invested), now we need to find a smart way to invest our time and money.

So our focus for the time being is on flipping: wholesale then move to rehab/retail. Is there anybody successfully doing this in North OC (Garden Grove, Westiminster, Santa Ana, etc?). A couple questions:

How realistic is it expect to be able to find wholesale deals in this area: (65-70% ARV less repair costs), and still collect a wholesale fee ($5-10k)?

I know finding the deals is the hardest thing to do. I am prepared for the hardwork/thinking outside the box. My main concern: are there deals to be found if one puts in the requisit effort/smarts. Or is it akin to winning the lottery trying to find deals? (The prices in my immediate area can be discouraging)..

I need to decide if we continue down the flipping/wholesale path
locally or consider a different avenue, perhaps out-of-area investing. I'll be out of town all next week, but look forward to reading all responses that you all are kind enough to give!

Any input from investors active in OC will be greatly appreciated!!! And even get yourself a free lunch if you are so inclined :)
