I pull tax delinquent data weekly for the Ohio market.Good luck with the close. 

From this data, you can utilize a website bestplaces.net that will give you a breakdown of the percentage of homes that sold, in various price ranges, for a given zip code.

Hey BP community,I’m looking for some seasoned SoCal investors to pressure-test my thinking.

TL;DR1) There is no basis for the claim that no skin in the game means a flipper in trouble will walk.2) For 1-4 unit properties, a lender can’t call a loan if the borrower takes on a 2nd.I have a different perspective and would like to see some data behind the claim that no skin in the game increases the likelihood that a flipper will walk away if they face a problem. 

However, there are a lot of data pointing to things turning around in the next couple years in JAX, but nothing is certain.

You can still find single-family homes and small multis in the $120K–180K range that hit the 1% rule and provide positive cash flow, which makes testing your strategies more forgiving than a high-cost market.

Also stress-test the deal: can it handle vacancy, repairs, or higher expenses and still make sense?

Using your $100K cash for a first property there can give you immediate cash flow and let you test the market while you get familiar with long-distance investing, and once you’re comfortable, you could look at leveraging equity through a HELOC or cash-out refi to scale faster.

Over the last two years I have progressively invested more and more time learning, watching markets, modeling out deals & back testing previously sold properties vs rental listings, etc.

I’ve tested pretty much every lead gen method out there for myself and for the investors I support — and honestly, consistent direct outreach has been the strongest performer for us.Happy to connect and hopefully collaborate on something soon!
