I am wondering because I will bid in the owner occupancy stage to give myself an edge how long do they require you to move into the property after it has been demolished.

The homeowner began the process of fixing and flipping but only made it to the stage of gutting out the whole house.

Be sure to explore and listen to the podcasts as well as exploring the different tools on the site - all of it can really help you through the learning stages of real estate investing. 

Then once you figure out your exit point for the condo you sell and can still 1031 the remaining equity into another better cash flow investment.So I guess I'd think about taking it in stages. 

. - Realistic owner financing seems like a mythical unicorn at this stage haha.

Someone in a Facebook group I'm in posted pictures of their house's staging.

I'm in the early stages, working with a designer to figure out the layout and getting quotes from contractors (so any other general thoughts on folks who have gone through a similar process in LA also very welcome).My question is - I'm sure property taxes will increase once that becomes livable space.

I am still in the research stage and saving money while learning the ropes.

I've personally seen the complete utter lack of care and extreme laziness of city officials and code officials.

And I am aware that wholesaling can lead to better advanced stages/goals you hope to achieve.
