Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

It's a good rental market for buy and hold.

Fed can’t raise interest rates to hold inflation down due to Fed debt levels.  

To avoid these costs, a common strategy is to set up a land trust to hold the property title.

The contractors who do work for me have zero issues with me sourcing the material if disclosed up front and not holding them accountable for any material issues.  

Part of the allure was the holding fees (insurance / property were several thousand less then up north) After one year, my Huntsville tenant had to move out early for a job relocation.

Whether it’s buy-and-hold, fix-and-flip, or short-term rentals, there seems to be a lot of potential here.For those already investing in the area, what have you seen?

When a lease ends they’ll suggest new rents and if the tenant hold be offered a renewal. some will offer to transfer utilities for you when it goes vacant, all should handle the transfer when a tenant moves in  With 10 properties I don’t “talk” to my PM more than 2-3 times a year.

Also do not need a holding company if you just own real estate.
