@Shital Thakkar There is no simple number because all markets are different.

I had to go to zoning and spend thousands to get it legalized.Your situation seems as if it is zoned as a single family home, and it was split into 2 apartments with no building permits.He's selling the property because he has the wrong zoning, and is finding a bank or an investor who over looks the problems that will arise once they close.With the way things are with insurance, I wouldn't be surprised if your insurance company will not insure for two unitsgood luckGino

Planning to sell two investment properties in CA and buy one primary residence in CA.Property 1 is listed and expected to sell in August to September timeframe (Around 150K long term profit, total sale price around 0.85M, no loan)Property 2 is under renovation and expected to be listed in August-September, and close around October to November (around 400K long term profit, total sale price around 1.7 M, around 0.6M loan. ~1.1 M in cash).What is the best time to buy the replacement property?

I assumed this was something a management company does and at any rate they said no problem.After about a month and various excuses for delays in getting a quote, I decided to get a backup quote from my normal insurance agent.  

Please help There is no abligation with the agent and the seller after the contract expires, however if the agent can prove that it was an arrangement not to pay his or her commission there might be a legal case there.

Other times the lender gave us a postponement (anywhere from 7-14 days) to get the funds sent in.This is like pulling off a touchdown drive with a minute on the clock and no timeouts.

So again, my only concern with Lifestyles is that it has a draw to many newbies, but most newbies are not your father, they are guys wanting to do deals themselves with likely no real estate experience prior to joining Lifestyles.  

No missing shingles but it's worn with moss on it.

To answer the initial question - I would say NO.

You've done your homework and there is no right or wrong answer to your findings.
