Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.

For those that didn't or couldn't make it, and for those that did to add theirs in the comments:Beyond all of the relationships built, bolstered, and buffered, these are some of my highlight reels from this year's event in Cancun (in no particular order).1.

That is one of the better markets to get started investing in real estate.

@Noah Bussanich:On structure, something like the Best Ever Real Estate Syndication book by Joe Fairless will help outline some of the basics.Kim Lisa Taylor on these forums owns a law firm that specializes in syndications, and offers a free book, a free consultation.But the term "how to structure" can mean a lot of things.

I would expect that to happen.. you eat the time but should not eat the cost of the fix.
