Hi all, I've been housing hacking a duplex since 2021 and due to some life changes will be relocating out of state.

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.

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.

Do you want to show your Florida property in another state?

If you're investing in real estate out of your home state don't you have, at minimum, a Realtor, Contractor, Property Manager, Lawyer, etc. in the state where you're looking to create a local presence?

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

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

We're getting nailed in auto insurance too.Any ideas why these states?

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