Presumably my gain will be much (less) on the second sell transaction in CA.Are there any regulations on how long I must hold my 'new' CA property before selling it (and going out of state) to avoid CA taxes on first transaction? 

My wife has a strong W-2 but I still need to be able to make some money.

I sell for about 70% above my all in cost, eg purchase plus light reno totals 70k, I resell for 120k.

Here’s a bit of background on my situation:I currently own my home, and my monthly expenses are about $2,000.

Hello, I just got my license about 3 months ago. 

My co-worker got me into the youtube real-estate rookie and now I'm here on bigger pockets learning more.

This got me thinking there are probably other items we need to upgrade in a mountain STR.So here's my question for those with experience in the area: What other items or upgrades do I need in a mountain home STR that are not obvious to a newbie/city dweller?

Can you guys please provide me with insurance options that can accommodate my situation?

My numbers were SOLID on the 2nd and 3rd deals. 

I have on occasion learned that my client would ask the Realtor questions about the loan that I didn't know they had.
