I have connections to DE, too@Russell Brazil Thanks.  

Vincent de PaulOperation HopeUpStream Impact (I plan to start working with them over the next few weeks, and reached out last week - haven't actually gotten involved here yet, but I'm very excited about their mission!)

Looking for ways to find multi-unit housing for sale in Delaware or Montgomery Counties (Drexel Hill, Havertown, Ardmore, Narberth, Lower Merion, Bala Cynwyd). 

It's not that the neighborhood is not great, it's just that it's on a cul-de-sac that is just outside the traditional student area.

I talked to them over the week end and the most they would tell me is they are a Delaware company, didn't share their corporate name, but they certainly wanted a lot of information from me, such as bank statements, copy of social security card, and a lot of other stuff that I just don't feel comfortable in giving out to anyone that I don't have any kind of relationship with.

However, the complexity with incorporating the concept of the Delaware Series LLC in California can be prohibitively expensive; insomuch as, California recognizes each series as a separate LLC, ergo $800 tax for each series.

This particular property is quite unique (Side by side duplex with 3 beds and 2 baths per side, hardwood floors, and completely updated...oh, and the last house on a cul de sac with almost no other multis in the entire town). 

Unrelated to this conversation, I just heard a story from a realtor of an ice cube left on a laminate kitchen floor overnight that caused swelling and minor de-lamination.  

@James De Silva  Short answer is at least one..... lolWhen people tell you to look at dozens or 100 houses for everyone you purchase they must mean on-line. 

If you are going out of state, form a main corp where the resident agent is cheap (az, wyoming, delaware) , and mail forwarding service.
