whether it's the higher than average property taxes of TX or the CA clawback. 

For example in Southern California many apartments do not come with refrigerators.

If you live in CA, NY, Boston etc - the financial difference is big enough.Investing in your home town is always best, you have the home-field advantage and you can buy, rehab and manage a lot more efficiently.

Since you’re in CA go for appreciation vs Cashflow .  

Hey Aishan, I personally own 12-doors in Detroit and I live in California.

Curious as to thoughts on building ADU’S for equity in LA / SoCal market.Search BP forums for appraisals associated with California ADU additions in single family zones.  

But I've yet to see anyone do that in today's market especially in California.

In CA I took a crash course with Sharon Butler and I passed first try with an 86%.

The condo I'm selling in CA could sell for approximately $600k, and I was thinking of rolling that into 2 condo/townhomes valued at about $250k each, then doing DST for the remaining around $100 for the 1031.

im in Orange County CA and there is a huge market here for room by room rentals here. i've been doing this for quite some time (over a decade now), and it certainly has its pro's and cons. my advice if you go about this is make sure you do proper vetting before moving someone in... not only for financials/ credit-worthiness, but also for temperament and expectations in a co-living space. we ask a lot of questions like "how do you handle conflict?"
