I am not entirely sure re: foreclosures, but that won’t stop me throwing in my 2 cents. I believe that in CA we have some pretty strict guidelines about buying foreclosures. The laws are meant to prevent people from taking undo advantage of people under the stress of foreclosure and you can get into trouble if you buy too cheap.

Anyone here have any experience flipping foreclosure properties in California? I want to get a property under contract and then assign it to another investor. Which contracts are involved? I think here in California we need to use a Equity Purchase Agreement(EPA) when the property hasn’t gone to auction yet. Is that correct? If so, how does it work vs using a regular purchase contract? How much money will I need to make to the seller if I use a EPA since it doesn’t include a place for earnest money(usally in the amount of $500-1K)? Also if I use a EPA will I be able to assign it? Anyone done any of this kind of deals here in Cali? Please give some feedback?
