I actually enjoy visiting there from time to time. 

My mother is a RE agent back home in California (30+ years), I have one rental property in Virginia Beach, and I'm mostly interested in BRRRRs, flips, and long/medium-term multifamily properties.

To any experienced investors willing to show me the ropes a little more in detail be more then happy to message me, I live in the Southern California area to be a little more precise.

Cities I’m Considering: Saint Paul, MNDes Moines, IAOmaha, NESioux Falls, SDWichita, KSOklahoma City, OKEl Paso, TXKnoxville, TNNashville, TNClarksville, TNCharlotte, NCSan Antonio, TXDallas-Fort Worth, TXIf you visit Fort Worth, I'm happy to show you around and or give you some notes!

However, if you feel you need their input earlier, you could offer to pay for their visit to walk the property with you pre-inspection.

If you look what ADUs have done for California, it seems like this can be a transformative trend here in MA. 

I’ve come across details regarding the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, and it seems there are exceptions for buyers with a valid work permit or for properties outside Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) or Census Agglomerations (CA).Do you know if certain types of work permits are more favorable for this purpose?

Where's in CA?

I like umbrella because there is no worry of being pierced for inadequate separation of finances, if sued you have a heavy weight in your corner who has all the consequences of a defeat, and because usually it is reasonably priced (mine today is not so reasonably priced but I believe it is mostly related to the risks of CA).I do understand that the probability of needing the umbrella policy is low.  

google "all inclusive Deed of Trust" fantastic CA document we used all the way back in the early 80s If I'm not mistaken though a wrap would require the 2nd buyer to also agree to financing terms; which would be the same as me (the 1st buyer).
