=) We've been listening to a number of BP podcasts, YouTube videos, and have been expanding our library of BP books.

Over time, I’d like to expand into short-term rentals, buy-and-hold properties, and flips.I’d love to connect and learn from this amazing community.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

Landlord-tenant regulations are a bit complex in California and getting hands on is the best way to learn before expanding into larger investments. 

We just love the country and plan to visit often and figured why not expand our business into Japan.

You can target value-add deals (BRRRR, rehab, house-hacking), explore short/mid-term rentals, or expand to secondary markets like Ocala, Lakeland, or Jacksonville.

Quote from @David Spurlock: Hey @Drew Sygit, Can you expand on "Old advice" and "new realities?"

If you plan to expand your portfolio, forming an LLC can simplify liability protection and operations for multiple properties.Consult a CPA or legal professional to confirm your tax obligations and evaluate whether an LLC or umbrella insurance aligns best with your investment goals and risk tolerance.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

So I'm a fan of buying in the path of progress from here since it's starting to expand outwards into cheaper neighborhoods.

Once you get more experience, you can expand to out of state.
