You're sitting in a highly favorable position with low CA property tax basis, so I highly advise against selling.

I also scrub properties that sell from the list.

It's theirs to sell for what they want.

Although I have learned a lot, the leads that he is selling to me seem to have issues with titles so I want to hear everyone’s stories and experiences when you first start out. 

Can you imagine the haircut you’d take if you wanted to sell and others didn’t?

As a result, there is often a substantial gap between where these properties appraise and what they would actually sell for in an arm’s-length transaction.

If you like the new town a lot more, then sell the investment and move the funds to the new town with a 1031 exchange to avoid capital gains.

(Assuming you’ve been in your current home over a year.) and then I’d probably sell the current home tax free unless. 1) I didn’t think I’d be able to keep finding fixer uppers. 2) The cash flow was EASILY beyond $10k/yr.  

They are not handing you a pile of lumber hoping you know what to do with it, they are giving you a complete plan and showing you what it should look like at the end and selling it to you at a profit and it's essentially what you need to do when selling to a potential investor either as an agent or a wholesaler. hopefully that helps!

If your sale is live, go in person 2-3 times with your list and see at what prices the liens sell or at what interest rate.
