Thanks, I'm looking to get into short term or long term rentals for starters.

Real estate is an excellent avenue to help you achieve those goals, especially since it can create both passive income and long-term wealth.

Find out what financial problem you are trying to solve in the short term until your able to get to more "long term" problems that real estate helps with 

However, terms are negotiated specific to each project. 

b) How do they (Cali Govt) deal with the damage, both in terms of who gets the blame and also where do they get the money?

Difficult to tell from the website exactly what type of Passive Investments are available: Fixed Term or Open-Ended.

The one that's short term and don't cost me a lot to initiate/originate.

Im self employed, roughly make $130k gross anually, 1099 NEC , no debt at all, 740 credit score.  Want to get a loan for $250k in AZ

When you sell, interview as many as you need until you feel very comfortable with the one you decide to work with.real estate is a big investment, and for me it's long term, I don't want to have buyer remorse because someone isn't as knowledge as I like.when I was younger,  I was more willing or less experienced,  today I want the same level of knowledge as I offer when I help someone with their tax planning or when I prepar their taxes.....Show me your high level of knowledge,  you are hired.
