@Chris Shon Michael is right in that your GA LLC should be registered as a foreign entity in CA, thus encumbering you to the CA FTB fee.

Hello Kyle,When screening applications for the properties that I manage, I always look for:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)I have found this screening standard very helpful when finding tenants who pay on time and treat the property well!

You can probably find good deals in Tampa right now, but I'd be very strategic about where you buy and yes, insurance and taxes can be killer, but there are plenty of investors there and for good reason. 

Someone left early and asked for a refund; should I give it to them?

I'm trying to do the right thing each time and feel like I'm being abused.

The key is understanding your risk tolerance, time commitment, and financial goals to find the right balance.

Right now real estate is a different ball game.

If they were fake reviews then they would be removed right away.

@James SillsFrom my experience working with investors, transitioning from residential to commercial real estate (CRE) is an exciting and achievable goal with the right foundation.
