Hi Brenden,I’ve been following the conversation on cold calling VAs and wanted to share some insights from my experience working with professional teams focused on acquisitions and follow-ups.

As you move up the price chart there are just fewer and fewer renters. 

@Kristian Forbes Sounds good, same to you if you're ever up in the St.

How many properties make up that $900k in equity?

You can set up a Wyoming LLC yourself.

I dont currently have any projects going in CA at the moment but I have been looking for a Summer cabin up by Truckee and I suspect insurance will be an issue although I will pay cash but I will still want some coverage. 

Due to recent building code changes, you can build a framed building up to 4 stories on a slab, which significantly reduces the overall cost of new construction.

Quote from @Nicole Heasley Beitenman: I'm coming up on my first year of operating an MTR.

The last few years have been great for investors/homebuyers who bought pre-con, but looking back to the few years after the 2014/15 boom, this wasn't the case, where many had actually committed to buying a property that wasn't quite worth what they signed up for closer to closing because the appraisal weren't matching the contract price, requiring a cash top-up.

When it's sold it will be taxed as capital gains tax and may also have some unrecaptured depreciation which is capped at 25% and  recaptured depreciation as well which can be up to your ordinary income tax rate.
