Disclosure, I'm not a tax advisor, but speak to a local CPA. 

I saw on another post that a member suggested to speak to the county assessor to get that straightened out because I am improving the property as well.

This means the profit is taxed as ordinary income (not capital gain) and subject to self-employment tax.If, however, you're portfolio shows a history of rentals, you intended to get into this property as a rental but ultimately decided to sell for whatever reason, and this "flip" is not a regular occurrence, you may be able to avoid classifying it as a flip subject to ordinary income and SE tax.Definitely make sure to speak to your CPA to get specific advice on your personal situation.

@Shawn HarveyI cant speak to purchasing this information, but I have found other private lenders through networking, by attending REIA's and masterminds and other networking groups.

Cant speak to the bubble but we did see prices roll back in the Bay Area for the first time in 15 months.

Generally speaking, closer to Oak and Biddle are the nicest areas with access to a great little downtown.
