LLC or sCorp for investment properties

[Jerry Zigounakis]

Wondering what everyone's experience is starting an LLC or sCorp to purchase your investment properties under? I live in CA, and I am looking to purchase a STR in Big Bear, CA and a LTR outside of CA.

Would it be best to start an LLC or sCorp in CA and deal with the astronomical annual fees? Or could I start it somewhere else, even though I would be conducting most of my business out of CA?
