FAQ

- Who pulls permits?
- Buyer post-close. Your GC or you, depending on California licensing rules.
How this works in California
Fixer-upper in California: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
California's NOD-to-trustee-sale timeline is ~120 days. If you have equity to protect, we can usually close in 14–21 days and stop the clock before the sale date.
California is a non judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
Escrow agents handle California closings — no attorney fees on your end. You select the escrow/title company that's closing the deal.
Local demand
High equity statewide means terms deals (owner-financing) often net you 10–15% more than a discounted cash sale. We give you both numbers so you can pick. Bay Area, LA, San Diego, and Sacramento have the most competing buyers.

Glossary
Key terms for fixer-upper in Chula Vista.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Chula Vista property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
