Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

vs. needing to get checkbook control set up?

Working on getting my entity structures set up and need to separate finances.

If you choose to do the lien, have an attorney or title company draw it up for you.

How do they keep the place up?

@Zack Whiting Straight off the rip I would draft up leases for these properties and get everyone on a MTM lease.

I took a 5 year hiatus from BP but despite all of the deals, ups and downs I found my way back. 

And hands down the #1 violators of tenants rights (I mean legit cringe stuff) are those large communities, not investors like those who make up the majority of BP. 

I think you'll more than make up the price in higher selling price.

Was it questionable in 1992 when we had car phones and dial up internet?
