This building was built in 2014 (out dated see pictures) and the City was completely different and small town vibe even if it was only 8 years ago.

@Troy Gandee you are working on out of date information.

CA has a law specific to 1031 exchanges, if you exchange a CA property for an out of state property and you later sell that out of state property then CA may assert the right to claw back (tax) the gain attributable to the CA property that would have been realized if it had been sold rather than exchanged at the date of the 1031 exchange.In this regard you may have annual reporting attributable to the out of state replacement property so CA can track what you have done with it.

I might install the coil and wait to install the condenser for a later date.

I booked my spring break dates the end of last year.

The buyers of my place can move up the dates as well.

Do your own research based on what nearby competition is pulling in....and on which dates.

We would love it to be someone who also invests in real estate themselves so that we can learn how to best prepare our business for the most opportunities of investing.We are looking for someone who is always up to date with current tax laws, is creative in their approach, and someone who loves to teach. 

The only gauge I can try and use is ask to see that the dogs are up to date on their shots and spayed/neutered.

It's also a good practice to make sure that the current owner is up-to-date with their HOA fees, otherwise that bill will become yours upon purchase.While some people opt not to get inspections on condos/townhomes that are in good shape because of the nature of the HOA taking care of CapEx, getting an inspection is always a good idea so you can learn more about your property and to potentially discover things that may not meet the eye.
