But, I ended up purchasing the property and holding.

Quick Turnaround: The fix-and-flip strategy allowed for a rapid transaction, reducing holding costs.

In California, I would say it is VERY lucrative to invest and hold on to the property for some time.

I'm trying to structure a strategy to identify the best steps moving on acquisitions for conversions to re sell with the greatest return or best hold strategies to maximize highest and best use for property.

The main hold up was getting an appointment for the fire marshal walk through, which looks to be no longer required. 

if not I would highly suggest joining some kind of team where they can "hold your hand" and so you can get an idea of how to property do real estate 2.

You can also try the BRRRR method, which involves buying a fixer-upper, rehabbing it, renting it out, refinancing to pull out your initial investment, and then repeating the process.

They co-mingle funds or hold the opinion that it's "my money."   

We are unable to get a hold of anyone and our properties are still listed on VRBO and Airbnb with the company.  

Buy and Hold?
