I recently moved to Texas from California and plan to move back to invest out of state. I am wondering if anyone has any advice, pros/cons, and tips on investing from out of state. How hard is it to network? How do yo...

I'm a big fan of the Yukon Solo Stove with stainless steel lid, which turns into a legit coffee table when not being used for fire - it isn't the cheapest set-up in the world, but the one I put into one of my LTR properties 3 years ago still looks nearly brand new, and was a huge selling point when I was getting it leased out.  

Cali is a non-recourse state, part of the short-sale negotiation could include the lender not pursuing the deficiency, however if the lender was to pursue it, then filing bk7 would be an option to be absolved from the debt.  

(Yes, I live on rice 'n' beans)If you have an underwriting process that can focus on my current cash-flows (and perhaps track record of successfully stabilizing properties), I invite you to comment or DM.THANKS BP COMMUNITY!

Things are a bit pricey right now, however, there will always be an influx of snowbirds and transplants. 

Will this be an issue for appraisal? 

It took me (who is a coffee addict and very quick with the computer) 9 hours to review 1,000 homes for physical distress.

I find this to be an under-utilized strategy. 

It's apparently their money, would they eventually get the down payment back in payments from you or would that be an inheritance?

For conventional, there will be an LLPA for an investment property that worsens the pricing compared to a primary residence, all else being equal.
