if i want realtors to promote to their lists in another state? 

you can register your one LLC as a foreign entity in other states.

The City/County/State rent caps only apply to leases that are being renewed. 

The exception is: When the 2 members are married spouses who reside in a community property state. 

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

David,Yes, investing out of state can be a wise choice especially if you live in a State like CA, NY, NJ, CT where home prices are over priced and taxes are brutally high.

Good post.We use a competent SEC attorney that creates all our docs and does the state filings. 

There are people that do flipping in other states while they live in another state from the projects and they are successful, but they have built a team while doing it. 

Now, I'm shifting my focus to multi-family properties, particularly in landlord-friendly states.

Many companies have left the state entirely.Insurance is a simple math game.
