We might move back to the East Coast in 4-5 years, so I'm looking for investments that can work well as a primary residence now and a rental property later.Income: Both my girlfriend and I have solid tech salaries (150k+ each).Current Portfolio: I don’t currently own any rental properties.Goal & Long Term Plan: I don’t love my current job so like many of you, I would like to create enough passive income through rental properties to have financial freedom and be able to work business ideas or side projects.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I currently have a conventional mortgage on my primary residence. 

I am embarking on my real estate investment journey and currently reside in California, but I’m planning to relocate.

You should have masks with you at all times for environmental pollutants when looking at hoarder houses - animal feces, dead animals, asbestos, gas, etc.As for protocol, hoarder houses are not an easy buy because if the resident is still there it's not a money issue, it's an emotional issue.

. - If you are NOT buying the property as your primary residence (in this case, it sounds like it will be an out of state rental), you are looking at putting 20% - 25% down if you are going to use a conventional mortgage.

Not all property needs to be owned in a LLC and does not have to be in a random state.
