Consider how your property would do as a LTR and underwrite those numbers (worst, middle and best case).I am very happy with my investment but it has been a lot of work and many challenges managing it from California.

I am to surprised to hear that this is CA.

Hi @Amy AtkinsonI was in the same situation 6 years ago when I moved back to California. 

In my HML company days back in Oakland CA. 

Don’t do your LLC in California.  

If you are in a high fire zone, the California Fair Plan is likely your best bet.

The tenant is now citing 1941.1 and implying that I need to pay for monthly spray.Under California Civil Code §1941.1, landlords are required to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition, which includes ensuring the premises are free of pests that compromise livability.

I'm in Austin and there is a online mattress showroom that I visited to try out different brands. 

Another consideration is that if you do a 1031 exchange back out of CA the state is a "claw-back" state so CA will try to get their capital gains eventually.
