Id recommend the single-family rental because you have more control and you don't need to worry about some greedy operator screwing it up 

Please keep us posted as you and so many in SoCal are experiencing genuine hardship (whether it's the loss of a home, belongings, jobs, etc.).

I am curious to learn how these operations are managed from abroad.From what I've seen, it's 100% possible to invest in real estate in the United States remotely.

.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

You just have to be careful because some sales agents will just advise you to over improve the property because it makes their job easier.

We are familiar with several operators, but we chose to work with AJ Osborne at Cedar Creek Capital. 

Some of them even walk off the job, even after they pull permits and are technically responsible for the work.  

Post insolvency, the framework allows an assessment to all private insurers operating in the state to cover the difference which will subsequently pass the costs along to policy holders.

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m new to real estate investing and currently running a remote operation to help connect investors with distressed homeowners and foreclosed properties across various markets.

Do you have a PM or is this your job now?
