Texas law has certain requirements, as I'd assume most all states do.Do you have any links to the type of locks you have used for the front door, back door and door leading to the garage?

1) Yiu REALLY need to know what CA will  allow you to do, I don’t know, but the state may say too bad landlord, you lose. 2) Assuming your attorney (Or you if you’re able to decode the laws that relate to your situation and are willing to go to court in front of a judge against a “sick” kid.) think you have the right to collect the rent I’d give them two options.

Here is a video that runs down the basics - https://s-media.nyc.gov/agencies/specialenforcement/01-Legal...There is also a prohibited building list - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law...Here are some more info overall - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law..All of this makes STRs in the city pretty tough but it certainly not impossible.

If you are able to manage it yourself, I think you will get a lot of very helpful education in real estate by spending a least a year or two doing that.You'll be able to work with property managers a lot better if you've done the work yourself for a bit, and it also helps to get familiar with the various laws and regulations you have to comply with as the owner, even if you do have a property manager in place (e.g., the new RI rental registry and associated lead paint inspections/certificates).It's up to you whether you're able to do it, but I think you'll get a lot out of the experience if you can try it for a year or two.

STR is another concern, many towns have laws against it but most towns do not enforce these laws, just make sure you are aware of them becuase they can be enforced.

To transition to multi-family properties, research landlord-friendly states like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Indiana with favorable eviction laws, lower taxes, and higher rental demand.

Heck, even within offices, the small 1-tenant office buildings suitable for a dental practice or law practice, those are in a very different world. 

I'm currently working with an estate planning attorney and she said she said we could put the LLC in the Trust but said she was not the best person to advise on the pros and cons of that and that we should talk to a business law attorney.
