Prospective Newbie from Ventura, CA

[James Guilford]

Hi there,

I'd like to get into real estate investing, but I live in California where the laws definitely seem to favor the tenants. I'm wondering if there is a way to work around this by investing in other states, using good property managers to take care of the day-to-day details, or if there are ways to mitigate the unfavorable legal climate in California.

I'm looking forward to learning how other investors from California deal with this, as well as how to analyze properties and attract good tenants.
