So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Unless there is an instant family on the way and you absolutely need more space (even with a new family a 2-bdrm cottage is sufficient - babies do not need much space in the first year).Why not stick it out in the present house for another 1-2 (or maybe 3-4 when your finance has finished university) years and pay down more of your debt (student loans and mortgage) to put yourself into a stronger position to acquire investment properties.In the interim, you could further educate yourself on real estate and start to narrow the gap on selecting the type of investing that best fits your lifestyle and ambitions.

I think there are many little things you can do to make your offer stronger including: no appraisal contingency, offer post occupancy time (if they are needing more time to move out), waive inspections, have your lender give them a call and tell how quickly they can get things closed and ensure the loan will go through, etc etc.
