Hi I am very new to real estate investment and planning to invest in turnkey SFR in those areas.

I have an investment property in Los Angeles county, my tenant is paying me on time.   

I’m here to learn as much info as I can to begin investing in real estate.  

Just make sure you’ve lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years, which it sounds like you have, so you should be in the clear.As for timing, since both deals are happening around the same time, things should move smoothly.

So have some lite experience being landlords but are very interesting in real estate investing by way of flips.

This quick turnaround showcased the power of market timing and effective negotiation, doubling the initial investment in just one day.

Learning - I am looking to learn what others have found to be successful real-estate investing strategies. 

First time looking into this so any references our resources will be appreciated. 

General rule of thumb I have heard is that carpet in a rental is expected to last about 5 years.The real fix here is buying premium higher traffic resistant carpet, or converting to a hard flooring on your next replacement, like LVP. 

It had been sitting on the market for a long time and the sellers were willing to drop the price significantly.
