Call me lazy, but I have people on the ground doing the leg work so I don't have to drive there.

The path I want to take is working with motivated sellers who are willing to provide seller financing while transferring the deed so then I can then resell the the deed to a motivated buyer and in turn for me become the bank that controls a note on the property.I have found guru course out there like Ian Flannigan's "Hidden Cash Flow Fortunes" which cost a arm and a leg ($1,497) to get started with.

Working with the listing agent, its located in Orange County, CA.

Please feel free to add me to your contact as we purchase wholesalers properties throughout LA/ Orange County.Also Nina, Matt didn't share but he is a hard money lender, as I wanted you to know that.

You actually have a leg up on a lot of new investors.
