It seems like a great market for that despite the property taxes.

They promise my growing Roth IRA account balance becomes a floor and protects my account balance from being negatively impacted by market changes.

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.

I’m looking to start out and connect with others that are in my market as well as the surrounding smaller cities such as Sanford and rocky mount.I’m looking to finally get some doors of my own as well as maybe do a couple flips.

It seems that since rates are falling you should be able to do better than I did. 7.75 is very high in the market as of today.

I’d also recommend looking into off-season demand, as coastal markets can fluctuate.

Apparently the OP has been over whelmed with calls and texts from solicitors, marketers, etc. as a property owner.  

I haven’t marketed the unit yet, I fell into this applicant by chance so I’m sure I can get an applicant that will meet my 3X requirement.
