@Andrew Jessup I would suggest going into a land trust first that is owned by the LLC (not in California) and then that owned by your living trust. 

I live in Chicago and have investments in California and Illinois.

In CA:  I have a tenant who, all of a sudden is in a wheelchair. 

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

Hey Dan, I live in California but have got 12-doors in Detroit that have done extremely well both from a cash flow and appreciation perspective. 

What is the landlord's responsibility in California? 

Owning in California means the property will always appreciate. 

Hi, my parents live in California and recently purchased two investment properties in Atlanta, GA.

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.
