Right now I'm living in Baltimore, still working 9-5 W-2.

@Belinda Lopez  very good points many reia's are owned by someone who is making a living running the REIA  or they have a publication of that reia and sell advertising.

Starting with a small multifamily property is a fantastic idea—it gives you a chance to live in one unit while renting out the others, which can help offset your mortgage and build equity faster.

Built in 1905, this property features a total of 2,832 square feet of living space, divided into two units.

That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.

I used to live in the lower mainland but invested where the numbers work like Vancouver Island or Northern BC.

I just did a commercial TI on Wolfe rd a month agoI've got a house by Tahoe....pioneer trail when one could we rode our bikes to Stevens Creek to swim :)  we lived behing all american market Blaney and Bolinger ..

Sometimes people don't want to live next to people that have a bunch of garbage in their front yard, that are loud and obnoxious, that are creepy and weird, or maybe who knows maybe the house next-door or on the same block had a murder or a shooting happen at it and it is a well-known thing that people can look up. regardless, I think that due diligence goes into affect here pretty well.

If one of the LLC members lived in another state and that person acted as managing member then you can avoid the FTB fee, but looks like you both reside in CA. 

Have a client that does sober living homes here in B/CS.
