Presumably my gain will be much (less) on the second sell transaction in CA.Are there any regulations on how long I must hold my 'new' CA property before selling it (and going out of state) to avoid CA taxes on first transaction? 

New listeners really need to understand that RE is a long game and bringing back people that have been doing it for a long time and getting that perspective would definitely be worthwhile. 

Hey Nate, it makes sense to continue building out your investment portfolio in Milwaukee, but if you're looking in the Midwest, I recommend you make sure you get very familiar with the market you're interested in and build your out-of-state team first such as an agent, property manager, lender, and contractors if you're planning on house flipping.I recommend checking out Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene, where he takes you through how to properly invest out-of-state. 

There's a very good chance the issue(s) you face have already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

I’m not good at sales and so a marketing plan would be tough.

The contractor took 3x as long, raised the budget by 70% as kept finding new little things it needed.

Has anyone worked with anyone with whom they’ve had a really good experience?
