There is no housing market in US where real estate can out perform stocks.

The current price of the house is indeed valued at the 103k, but I have to admit I was shocked to see the price the wholesaler got as well. 

I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

I've been a BP Featured Agent for many years, targeting multifamily investors and house-hackers.

Another single family house had two front doors and they assumed it was 2 units, it was not. 

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

There will likely be a partnership return required where you flipped a house with a partner and lost $120,000.If you sold the other property within the same partnership, it will also be reported on that partnership return.The net result to you is that you will receive a K-1 showing your income / loss which you then use to report on your individual return.If you made no money within the same year, you likely pay no additional taxes / get no additional refund.Best of luck.

If you want the houses to be super cheap look at Midwest locations like Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo, Indy, KC, Baltimore etc......

They rough house.
