I currently live in my house on the weekends but I stay with a friend near where I work during the week because it’s 2.5 hours away and I don’t want to drive 5 hours a day.  

I'll try to stay on top of any and all questions about the Sacramento market here.

My neighbor may be able to verify that I need 50 rattle snakes to stay mentally stable.  

If you're knowledgeable enough to avoid the pit falls and understand the exit strategy it's time to buy.

Most of my knowledge, gleaned from online resources, suggests areas like New York or California for properties with high appreciation potential.

It needs to stay above 80% to avoid going into default. 

For example, I invest internationally and most investors don't have the time, knowledge resources or willingness to do it by themselves and therefore some of them invest in my deals.

I recommend that you stay on the safe side and do send 1099s to your wholesalers.You do not need to send 1099-NEC in these cases:You paid the contractor electronically (PayPal or Credit Card).

And just to stay on topic @Julie Marquez, I have an obsession with Mint as well.  

Very detailed response. thanks for such generosity in sharing knowledge.
