There are new laws affecting California transactions in 2024, some of which are very relevant to investors and house flippers.According to the California Association of Realtors, starting July 1, 2024 most 1-4 unit properties that are resold within 18 months (aka flips) must disclose:- repairs, renovations, room additions and structural modifications that were performed by a contractor with whom the seller entered into a contract- the name and any contact info for the contractor for any work over $500- any permits obtainedSo you still can be an HGTV star, just make sure you do it by the book. :)Have any of you flipping in the Los Angeles area been affected by these new disclosures?
