It is incredibly hard to make money bidding online.

These auctions are public information that you can find online.

Planning to sell two investment properties in CA and buy one primary residence in CA.Property 1 is listed and expected to sell in August to September timeframe (Around 150K long term profit, total sale price around 0.85M, no loan)Property 2 is under renovation and expected to be listed in August-September, and close around October to November (around 400K long term profit, total sale price around 1.7 M, around 0.6M loan. ~1.1 M in cash).What is the best time to buy the replacement property?

No investor cash paybackNext build I will infuse about 50K cash working on construction loan.  

They just talk and deflect and kick the can down the road with "we will for sure take care of this for you, I am here to help" before ultimately saying "there is nothing we can do about this".The funniest part of the VRBO support is the online chat, where they intentionally try to get you to time out of the chat. 

One option is you can use a DSCR loan and pull out 75% of the appraised value, you get to retain the asset and you should be able to cash-flow a couple of hundred bucks a month. 

I think they hold all loans in house so could potentially be more creative.  

Obviously mounted up high in a readily visible spot "trail cams" work just as well (as a possible visual deterrent), very cheap online. 

Hello, has anyone heard of the Land Flipping Online course by Ron & Don Apke?

Texas DOJ is actively investing this...so maybe your one loan may never even get picked up by them - by why risk it?
