That seems like a huge headache, managing an STR from out of state and meeting the material participation hours from OOS.

@Nicole CotrinoKey factors: Do you materially participate in managing the property?

I've decided to not attend college, so I can achieve financial independence faster and to avoid student debt.

I think it will save me money in the long term in the event I am sued, but lawyers are expensive and as a student, disposable income isn't exactly too prevalent.

While this isn’t ideal from a transparency perspective, it’s a foreseeable outcome when the regulation doesn’t directly impact flipping economics.The Bottom Line: While AB 968 may promote transparency in theory, its real impact will likely create more complexity and hurdles for sellers of distressed properties and newer market participants rather than significantly altering the business strategies of established flippers.

You are treated as a "student" trying to gain "admission" to their program. 

They were still up there for students to "work on" when in actuality they are not even available anymore.

@svitlananisk  I was participating in another free course on fb.

Maybe start finding deals to wholesale, which will sharpen your deal evaluation skills and generate cash for future investments.If you find really good eals, you could even require that you participate or get a piece of the deal.

Can a long-distance investor be considered materially participating in their STR property?
