I wouldn't expect a realtor (or lawyer) handling the purchase or sale of a home to remember if they also handled the buying for it a few years ago. 

The condo I am looking at is close to the new Aquarium that is going up, the new Grand Village, etc..I feel like as a buy and hold it is fantastic since it is guaranteed to appreciate but also as a completely remodeled 3/3 so close to the strip, I could do well with STR and at a longer renting period as opposed to golf/lake rentals.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong location.

I was interested in buying foreclosure sales in this state.

Almost sounds like they're buying the tax lien vs the deed, but that's not exactly what they post.

My fiancé and I are open to investing out of state and are actually in a trip in Texas to check out real estate see how we like the idea of staring a family here.Our Starting Point (Conservatively)- Located in Camarillo, CA- 120k portfolio in the stock market subject to short term capital gains with a potential tax bill of 15-20k- Current W2 monthly income after taxes: $7k- Side hustle 1 income: $200 month     ($200 in profit)- Side hustle 2 income: $1400 revenue     ($0 profit) - debt at 29k- Current debt: $47k     (Auto: $29k Student Debt: $18k)*the auto loan doesn’t show on our credit for some reasonHow would move forward in our situation?

If I flip a house and make a profit after 6 months, then buy a new property 3 months later, what taxes will I be obligated to pay?

For example, if you buy a $400k home and put 20% down (say its investment) your loan is $320k.

It is far more likely that a first-time homebuyer is going to buy as their primary residence.

I thought my property would increase in value more than that; especially if an investor were to buy it.
