.: I'm curious how CA agents can make a living with laws like AB2992 that state:"If the out-of-pocket costs to pay their agent remain too great and the seller and buyer have not yet reached an agreement on the sales price and/or terms, the buyer may walk away from the subject property provided there is an exit clause, proceed without representation, or approach the seller's agent about possible dual agency representation." 

Hi Luca,a rate/term bridge with rehab budget would be your best bet. there would be no PPP's since it's a bridge, you'd be able to pay off the existing lien, and you'd get your funds to do some renovations to the property.I should be able to help with this, but I'd need more information on the property and how much in rehab you are looking to do.

I'm not in that market but I would recommend finding off-market deals, targeting distressed properties, or focusing on smaller multifamily units in less competitive neighborhoods.

So for the dollar amount, returns, and additional risk I decided to just focus more on my day job.

As the host, you have the final say on who moves into the house.

If you take title to the property as an LLC with you as the only member (and that elects to be taxed as a sole proprietor) then the property will still be reported on your joint tax return and that would be fine.When you sell you can sell as that LLC and buy as the same LLC or another disregarded LLC, or as you, or as you and your wife, or as just your wife.

Does anyone invest or have insight on Murphy, NC as a STR market?

What are the best strategies you’ve used to minimize this risk and keep projects on track? 

After doing much research, I decided to reach out to one of the home owners on Facebook and asked if she'd be interested in selling.
