This new regulation aims to increase transparency in the real estate market and protect buyers from potential issues with recently renovated properties.As a fix and flip investor in California, I'm curious to know how this new legislation is affecting your strategies and operations.

@Jasmine HuNot sure I would go to Memphis and don’t know the VA markets.I’m in Greenville SC and love that market - midway between Charlotte and Atlanta.Booming population, income, and job growth - not as competitive as the NC and Florida locations.As you note insurance costs are in issue in FL and probably in Wilmington too.To add some additional context, one can invest successfully in most markets.For me, knowing your market is as important if not more important than selecting a market.

It's important to note that other wholesalers are more likely to JV with you and take a disposition fee rather than simply give or sell you their list.If you're interested in purchasing access to cash buyers, you might consider platforms like InvestorLift, which can cost $25-30K a year for their dispo services.

For example, TenantCloud will push (syndicate) your advertised rental to multiple websites at once, casting a wider net and increasing the chances of finding a renter.No matter how wide you cast the net, you still need to have some pre-screening requirements to weed out the people that are wasting your time.
