Your ALL in cost is only a cup of coffee.I am currently flipping homes in Orange County and teach others how to do so as well.

The report shows market activity for current year month vs. prior year month.However, this company only provides reports for Orange County. 

A builder can make a profit on a 100k lot when the house at 2200 to 2400 sq ft sells for 400k.. that's about 50k oi their jeans and usually only about 50 to 75k cash equity. so its a double your money cash on cash in less than a year which is pretty standard.can make it work at 300k exit though you would lose moneyBut as for rentals Go which I believe is what Ray is looking at.. for me personally. the age of the housing stock there in the inner city is all about 50 to 120 years old.. some sell for 10k other like FS sell for 60 to 100k and need 10 to 30k in rehab.. for me I would rather have a 100k rental next to a 400k new build then be in an area of all older 75k homes with no new builds in sight or will ever be there. those truly have no upside other than if rent rises .. but again we are apples and oranges we are inventory providers or providers of new housing.. not landlords. 

e.g. the purple walls, the orange shag carpet, the dark brown 1970's fake paneling.5. 

(Think Irvine Company in Orange County,CA, but all across the US.)

It’s either apples-to-oranges or apples-to-Volkswagens 🤷🏻‍♂️

A few years ago, a small Escrow Company here in Orange County that also did 1031 exchanges, was owned by a person who found out they were dying of cancer, so one day, ALL the money in the escrow exchange account disappeared, along with the owner.So my advice is to do the 1031, the government did NOT take any risk and does not deserve that large of a chunk of your profit.

Get some bright orange door hanger-type flyers made and hire someone to flyer a neighborhood.
