Here's where I get confused: how much of the proceeds do I have to put into an up-leg to avoid paying tax on that $25K?

I know this is apples and oranges from what I have been doing to date.

I need orange county and LA county wholesalers with SFR deals.Just had a BIG buyer rep call me for deals out this way, and I'm not local (from PA)Please help

Buy 10 pound packages of chicken thigh and leg.

I am actually currently fighting in Orange Beach AL because they want to call the condo there a condotell. 

a Realtor may have better/more accurate info but the only legal leg I see you have to stand on is he’s not your client, he’s just a guy selling a house by owner.

This is not a "disadvantage" of a 401k compared to SD IRA, it like trying to compare potatoes (that you have in your possession) with oranges (that are growing in your neighbor's yard). 

Thanks JD - I'm working in a neihborhood that was pretty ugly about 8 years ago - things are really coming around though and taking this area from a red zone to something that I'd consider orange/yellow.  2 new schools, walking distance to the YMCA, and a huge hospital expansion 2 blocks away make this area soon to be desirable.

@Lauren Hardy, I just googled orange, california courthouse.

I was wondering if any experienced fix and flip investors have any recommendations for a real estate agent in Orange County, CA?
