 Thank you Lauren. Interesting! Those feel like Covid rules, but maybe not.  

 Thank you Allen, I'm looking at the Valley as well. Just seems that LA County is a little more difficult to work with compared to Ventura county. 

Hi! 

Curious to hear about people's experiences with MTR /STR in Ventura county (Thousand Oaks, Oxnard, Ventura, Ojai, Camarillo, Simi Valley). The numbers seem to be decent according to Airdna (which I understand covers STRs, not MTR).

I'm moving to Thousand Oaks and thinking on investing in couple properties that I would take care of myself. 

Thank you!

@Darius Ogloza may I ask - what was the worst thing that happened with your REI?
Have you used a company like Rent to Retirement? 

I appreciate your comments! The goal of this is to create an income stream for senior parents, so I want to be very careful. 

@Darius Ogloza I'm hoping to spend some time setting it up and learning the ropes, so that eventually I can give it to my parents to manage. 

I already have some REIT, stocks, CDs, Fundrise and other things that are truly passive. I think this is a next step for me as an investor and also a next step towards diversifying.

Hi! So excited to be a part of this community. 

I am planning to move my parents to the US soon within the next 1-2 years. 

I have good chunk of cash to work with and I am trying to think of passive income strategies for them. Passive for them, because they will be adjusting to the life in new country and advancing their English (at beginner/intermediate level now). They are in their "young" 60s, I can see them working part-time eventually to integrate better and contribute to the local community. I live in LA, so I will be moving them somewhere here. It also has to be passive for me (eventually), because I actually like my current W-2 job and would want to stay with it. 

I have been doing a bunch of research and I realize that I need to focus on Multi-Family properties that could bring the highest cash-on-cash flow. Which is sadly impossible in California. Would that be the right to try and find something out of state in that case? 

I am a very beginner in real estate, I don't even own my own home. So I would want to start small first, let's say put down 30k, see how it all works and then buy more / pay down the loan. Hope to find smth with at least 10%Coc. 

I've been doing research on best states to invest, companies like Rent to Retirement, started talking to some realtors, but not set yet on the best way to proceed. 

Would love to hear any thoughts on this. 

Thank you,
