I spoke with Zoom and they say CA needs a physical address to form an LLC.

Physically seeing deals in person regularly and using BP to connect with direct owners would be very educational IMHO.

It's not just the physical condition you see that determines value.

My first several years of investing I taught some physics and year one my take home from my day job was a whopping $26,000.

Doing it myself saved money but was physically and mentally exhausting.

If it were mine, I'd be getting ready financially and physically for a turn, and to re-advertise the unit.

You may want to check with local codes (building department in the city your home is in) about the railing.  3 steps should be about 22 inches but sometimes people don't count the porch as a step, they simply see 3 physical steps and say it is 3 steps when the fourth is the porch. 

@Percy N. appreciate the honest opinion and I agree, and I am used to the grind having several businesses in the past Grocery store, Software company with 20+ employees in a physical location etc., taught me that:-) and I love to have that again only in the real estate Industry.

I analyze the deal before I even physically look at the property.  

not just investing from far away, Meaning physically, buying another house and moving the whole family to get familiar with the market and investing in the new market.
