I will also entertain a 2/2 with at least 1,300 sq ft because it should be easy to add in a third bedroom.Big takeaway and questions you should answer to continue your journey:Why do you want to flip?

@Anna SmithThis board features over a dozen of tax accountants who specialize in real estate.

Sounds like you have a lot going on and continuing to perfect your craft. 

Buy what makes sense for you in the CURRENT market; those who roll the dice looking for appreciation, or buy high today hoping the market will make that below-average investment a prize winner seldom last.Remember, "prices will always continue to go up, they never go down!?!

When you have such a major area like the Bay Area and Sacramento regions within 2-3 hours drive and lots of high wage earning individuals in those markets I would believe they will continue to vacation there.

I still know lots of people that continue to invest in CA too.

On the other hand, I could have sat and complained that I didn't have enough capital to continue to grow my portfolio and only dreamed about the next steps (i.e., that would be 'interested').

The other 5 I bought cash from my earnings from my various business dealings and are in various stages of completion, being remodeled or next in the pipeline.Here’s my question, I can’t keep dropping 10’s of thousands of dollars boot strapping my property acquisitions and I think I’ve acquired enough collateral to put up for a line of credit so I can continue to buy deals as they present themselves, which is every day in my area.

As I continue to search for that first property my plan is to already have a few general contractors in order.

@Joseph GastonMay not even be an added feature issue.
