Whether it’s a mom-and-pop shop or a larger operation, I’m looking for insights into who’s buying and who’s selling.  

Some will want to be on your team, and some will want to split profits with you in exchange for funding your deals. 

If you decide to sell and find an investment property with a greater cash flow potential.A 1031 exchange would allow you to indefinitely all of the tax and use it to your advantage to reinvest into larger nicer property/properties.

At a 7% annual return, this could grow to $908K after 10 years, providing immediate liquidity and diversification.Alternatively, holding the property could yield $825K net equity after taxes in 10 years, assuming a $900K sale, with the potential to defer taxes via a 1031 exchange if reinvested into another property.

Any insights or creative ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Also talk to local agents and ask for their insights.

I haven't actually closed a deal that far west or else I would be able to give more insight. 

@Nathaniel Floyd thanks for your insights and giving a specific market to look into.

I think majority of those that are displaced will likely find homes in the surrounding communities in CA (I’m sure some local CA experts have better insight).

Any insight on how strictly that will be enforced?
