Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $39,500 We were dreamed buying home in California, but we just turned our around.

@Jackson Harris would absolutely love to get in on a call I don't live in Phoenix at the time I'm in California but I'm going there in the near future.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

Looking to talk to someone who’s had experience adding a bonus room/sunroom in San Diego. Need some advice and some recs! Image for reference.

My name is Max Nelson, I am a Bay Area based Investor with a single Family home in Santa Cruz, CA that is a Short Term/Mid Term Rental and a Duplex in Bend, Oregon.

Too many other investment options. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-diego/real-estateAs with any large investment, do conservative accurate underwriting before purchasing in San Diego.  

Quote from @Sean O'Keefe: Correct, California is uniqueThis is a rather diplomatic statement, Sean  ;) 

My portfolio is heavily weighted towards real estate, largely because of California appreciation.
