That is because I'm still active duty military, and have to get stuff done before I head in to work for the Marine Corps.

Hello BP Family,I have a Marine who is relocating from NOLA, Lousiana to Sacramento, CA.

We have a Marine Division that may be able to suggest possible markets.

A fixer rambler bought in Marin County for $400K-$450K in 1997 will, in the current market, sell for about $1.4 - $1.8 million, likely in 5-7 days on market. 

Let the other marinate until you can refi out some equity from them.

We have buy and hold investments in Marin, San Francisco, Davis CA, Charlotte County FL, Monroe County NY and Las Vegas NV as well as real estate interests in Chicago and Toledo OH. 

Here in Marin County California most of our sanitation districts require that sewer laterals be tested usually upon transfer of ownership of the property or substantial remodel worth $50,000.   

Last year, I "retired" from my regular job and turned to flipping full time in Marin County where we live. 

I'm a retired Marine myself and still hold onto a property in San Diego from when I was in. 

My day job is as an active duty Marine and I've done that for about 8 years and I've held my NC RE Broker's License for about 3 years now as well.
