I love living in CA, but if you're an investor and like to have your properties in LLCs, it kind of suck. $800 yearly tax for each LLC.

She houses a nurse in each home along with adult patients that need living assistance due to mental retardation.

Alternatively, if your daughter lives nearby, why not have her buy into it and live there?

Here’s my situation.I currently live in upstate New York but am looking to move to Texas.

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates). 

My brother lives in La Jolla and I know hundreds of investors in coastal Southern Cal. 

In my experience you tend to get more people living there than the people who apply. 

Work on the property / live in the property for at least 2 years.

I did all the labor my self aside from hiring certified electrician and plumber as per country permit regulations.I live in Alaska with my family and work in construction in general (journeyman carpenter turned commercial superintendent turned GC and now rolling steady as one man 'handyman' doing lots of finish work the last couple years).

I've lived here on and off for 15 years.
