Once have a market chosen, then will need to get team assembled, for sure..

I now use his power-team in Houston (free of charge and he gets no kick backs from me using them) and have started assembling some other individuals onto my own power-team.

If it's just a matter of furniture assembly, they may help you or know of a handyman in the area looking for work.

Freedom of assembly for the win.However as I understand it to use the term "REIA" you may need to associate with the national organization.

My other option is to invest in Lafayette (city accross the river) which seems to be growing with about 1,000 jobs being added in 2 years when the Subaru Assembly plant finishes its expansion...I don't want to make a monumental mistake, however I want to jump in feet first...any advice would be much appreciated.

I have had luck with Lily Ann Cabinets (RTA and assembled), RTA Cabinet Store (RTA), and JSI brand through cabinet companies.

And you want to assemble a top-notch team that will have your back. 

Opening new items and assembling them.

Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.

The best place to BRRRR is the place where you have assembled a strong team and are familiar with the market pricing, contractors and costs of materials.
