Good morning, Taylor,We are a direct lender and not a broker here in San Diego, CA.

I am only licensed in CA so cannot do it for you.

In California there is $800 franchise tax per LLC per year, which discourages a lot of RE investors from getting an LLC.

Especially CA folks who are so in tuned to RE and owning RE as you know look at all the CA investors that flock to the mid west and rust belt to buy rentals.

So, he already had people & processes in place when he moved back to California and continued to DIY manage his rentals.- It's also interesting that he doesn't want to DIY manage anymore.

California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, New York are all MUCH worse for landlords!

California is expensive as you noted.  

Over the past decade, I’ve built and managed purpose-driven homes in CA that serve communities while generating stable, long-term cash flow.In addition to running care homes, I also consult with aspiring care home owners across multiple states, including Texas, Arizona, and Michigan (Detroit area).

3 of my properties beat your CA gross rent!

This is why people are getting pissed with cold callers and your seeing very poor response/appointment/sales rates with PS data.This is what Joel Bongco has stated alsoIts absolutely true and I can go further and quantify exactly how bad the data is using my own study comparing PS to county records.I compared PS preforeclosure leads to county records across 167 counties in Texas (67), Florida (50) and California (45) by running searches for both PS ad the County recorders datbase for the period 08/01/2024 - -09/30/2024 and found thatFor TX which i measure preforeclosure leads as all lis pendens, appoinment of substititute trustee (Not a NoD but used for a similar indication) and notice of trustee filings.
