Currently I have inherited tenants, but I am planning for lease turn over.

That would lessen the length of the drive for everyone to drive to where they could afford, BUT we will always only be able to purchase where we can afford...

Since PITI = Principle, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance you could look for anything that lessens any of those variables. 

You Inherited a HouseInheriting a house can be a valuable asset you can use or sell for financial gain.

Also, we inherited that tenant when buying the property at a foreclosure sale and section 8 was very helpful in providing all documentation, last signed lease, renewal or rent increase instructions, inspection information, etc.

@C Rutherford I, too had a single in her 60’s year old tenant who spent the first year after I inherited her calling and texting, sometimes as many as 50 times per week.

They inherit the properties at the "stepped up basis" aka what the properties are worth when you died and can sell them off then if they wish.

Your children can inherit the property as well.I think you will owe transfer tax on your QCD and fees for the trust and LLC as expenses to keep in mind.

My goal is to generate cash flow, no knowledge on how to increase the NOI, no experience in house flipping, just some cash from inheritance.

California does not recognize series LLCs.Additionally, you'll want to consider long-term planning and whether a vehicle of that type does anything for you in terms of inheritance & estate planning, including property tax savings.These are all things you will want to discuss with your attorney and CPA.
