So, my suggestion is to develop a relationship with an insurance broker who is not a computer bot and ask them for some indications. 

Prop. 15 though seems quite necessary to me although maybe also not the best solution.The state has two related problems that need to be solved:1) California has developed unsustainably for decades (often through federal government largesse), overbuilding public infrastructure such as highways and sewer/water lines.

Also, what techniques would you use to see if the flip was actually done properly and professionally and that corners were not cut that can be costly in the future?  

I have found that tenants with horses or cows move less than people renting a single family or multi-family home.I did really well with that years ago on a 10 acre parcel that I held until sewer became available and sold it to a developer.

At any rate, I see developers and investors actively working on other homes on that street now.

As a couple composed of a city planner/R.E. agent and civil engineer we are knowledgeable in the process and requirements for new development (whether it be residential or commercial) and selling/buying real estate.

Just saw a post from CBS17 of the plans that Raleigh city officials have for developing Midtown.

@Dan Travieso as far as numbers go, our property value has gone up due to some new development in the area.

I love being a nurse, so I needed to get creative with that benefit I had available to try and balance my career with the up and coming passion that I’m developing for real estate so as to not get burnt out.

It’s taken me a long time to develop my own geospatial data tools to look at this.
