We have long terms holds in Shasta and Tehama county.

Beyond immediate safety concerns, the long-term financial implications, including taxes, are a pressing issue for those impacted by the disaster.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

But I would suggest exploring all options to make sure you are getting the best rate and terms.

What I gathered from Sumrok's students is that it works best if you're local and can be in the area (sort of in a face) a lot.In terms of Rod's program, I bought the online course awhile back.

Second, in terms of asset protection, LLCs are not invincible, but I think what many don’t understand is that they are not designed to completely shield your assets from liabilities, on the contrary they are designed to contain and isolate liabilities.

From what I’ve heard in a piece by Forbes, focusing on unique features can lead to higher long-term rental satisfaction... especially if your tenants want a few animals or more outdoor space.

So is it a matter or reaching out to lenders saying I'm willing and able to act as a broker and ask for their terms/rules?

We would rather buy in a higher class and have less cash flow/come out even and focus on appreciation and long term.
