I see from your profile you are casting a pretty wide net, which is good for you.I can't speak for California, but where I'm at flipping and wholesaling are pretty much dead.I'd buy 'em if I could find 'em, but what's available gets bid up by TV-dreams besotted wannabes who slap on a coat of designer paint, dial up the curb-appeal and then hold multiple open-houses, usually attended by idle neighbors and bemused investors.Then, a couple months down the road, comes the inevitable ad for "Executive Rental" at a price that bleeds cash while the owners desperately pray for a return to the good old days of magical appreciation and NINJA loans.

When I'm covering a repair, I'll hit just the new area with a couple of coats, then spread the final coat out to the entire wall.

If the property is clearly an investment style property (neighborhood, price point, condition) then the agent needs to develop thicker skin because low-ball offers are coming.

If you have a lot of water coming in,  you might need to address the problem from outside by excavating the area,  Tuckpointing,  spraying a rubberized coating and adding a protective sheathing to stop the flowing water.

If you guys ever meet at Red Coat Tavern, ship me some wings.

No color coat, over the stucco.

They used a thicker rebar in the addition so the floor has a slope to meet up with the rest of the home.

This could be a good work around2) Two coats for Polyurethane - Make two thick coats for Poly on the hardwood.

@Kalyb Coats so what came of this?
