Hi Everyone,I'm an aspiring rental property investor currently living in San Francisco.

I'm originally from San Francisco and ran into the same issue.

I 'manage' properties all over the country this way, right from my home in San Diego.Connect with me if you would like to chat more about it. 

I moved from near San Fran to invest and live in Reno and have absolutely loved it.

Thus, these are generalizations, and as always, you should speak to a professional about your situation to receive customized advice.Finally, as to the living trust, you'll want to ensure that the trust is drafted properly and is up-to-date with tax laws and with your current situation.If you want referrals for any of these types of professionals, I know many in San Diego if you're willing to work remotely or travel a little south. 

I was doing pretty well with my existing properties in San Francisco Bay Area and Indianapolis suburb, all Class A, higher income tenants, oldest property is built in 1957 and 1961 (local so I can check on these every week and they are all up to code) and 2005 (Indy Class A)I bought in spring 2023 a Class C property in Indianapolis for $130,000 which was supposed to cash flow on paper $176 a month at higher interest rate.

The purchase price of SFH seem to be a lot lower in San Antonion than they are in the Triangle area.

I am in San Antonio, TX so I would love to meet people in the area that are also doing the same thing.

I am a realtor in San Gabriel Valley in LA county.

Since you're in LA, you might want to look into nearby areas like Riverside or San Bernardino for more affordable options.
