Hi all,A little introduction...I am currently a professional soccer player for the Vancovuer Whitecaps of the MLS in my seventh season.I have spent the last couple of months reading and researching real estate investing.  

@Nick KnoblachOf course, you should always confirm with your own CPA who is familiar with your situation, but here's a few generalities:- CA taxes residents on worldwide income, so the CA resident will likely be taxed on the entirety of income that he/she receives on his/her CA resident tax return, including his/her share of rental income- CA will likely want to collect tax on all income earned in CA due to CA-sitused real property, so any non-residents in CA should likely be prepared to file a non-resident income tax return in CA to report his/her share of income earned from the CA real property-I'm not familiar with MN rules, but most states generally allow for a credit for taxes paid to another state. 

Find out about investment meetups and groups in your local area, and find out if there are any players that bring in partners.

Collaborative partnerships and strategic alliances have become paramount, enabling industry players to weather the storm and emerge stronger than ever.
