My main concern is not being able to actually flip the property.

If you want to know the appreciation potential, records show I could have gotten $650,000 for it in 2018, therefore it appears the market has flattened out.Would you TRADE a 2-3% Cap Rate for a 5-6% Cap rate when you are looking mainly for Retirement Cash Flow?

@Laurence MethI stick to mainly landlord friendly states. 

The main reason is rent growth has exploded in the three major urban cores Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco since 2010; averaging 6.25% YoY according to RealPage. 

The main factor likely has to do with the lack of access provided by the owner/tenants.

,mainly because there's enough equity in it for me to purchase additional homes. i could do a cash out refi on it, but decided i might as well cash out and invest the money in a different area compared to where the house currently is.ThxMarcus

The main one is failure to pay rent.

@Braden AndersonI use the addresses is the 123 Main st LLc

I have also just started my real estate career (main job is a teacher) and don't have many contacts for lenders, contractors, etc.

I would love to get any referrals I can at this point, my real estate involvement at this point is mainly intellectual and I will definitely need to start growing my contacts list.
