Out of state taxes/state of legal residence for military members

[Greg Rollins]

Hello BP, 

I am in the Marines, currently deployed in the Middle East, based out of Camp Pendleton, CA (San Diego) but have my "state of legal residence" of Florida. 

So....

If I were to invest in buy and hold properties out of the state California when I get home (Florida, Texas, etc), would I be taxed on my location in California? My "legal residence" where I vote, don't pay income tax (go Florida!)? Where the LLC is located (if I create one)? Or where?

Obviously I would like to get the best tax benefits possible, but I'm just not sure if any of that is in my control or if I just have to accept "as is" based on certain tax laws. 

Thanks for the help!
