wholesaling or buy and hold

I have most of my TEAM assembled. I have a Title person, a real Estates Agent, A credit counselor, My banit signs are up Fliers are out and I have been upddating my ads on craigslist. I have been reading from many about wholesaling, and assigning, adn that seem to be what I am going to start with. I am looking for people that might want properties in So. Cal. San Diego Area particularly. My biggest problem has been that I have seen all the videos with people buying homes for $30,000 & $50,000 and they were looking GREAT!!!!! WOW! a person here in San Diego for that price you have to do some real reno. Many look like they came ow I know that they aren't the "BEST deals",
the best ones are the ones everyone has forgotten about. The expired listings and such. That's what I am going after first.
