Here come the turnkey operators stating that everyone investing in CA is gambling and can’t cash flow if their life depended on it

It sounds great, but starting at over $5,000, it's a big gamble without having insight from people who have used it.

PATH 2 - Sell the current house and buy a smaller home outright, thus leaving me with the working class dream of no mortgage.PATH 3 - Sell the current house, and buy numerous houses (with mortgages) around the UK and Spain.PATH 4 - Rent my current home as a luxury rental, then use that money to travel the world, and once I am finished travelling, perhaps get another property.Now, you guys are going to need some more info, so here goes.We have not had our house valued.

I guess it's a gamble unless I can get inspectors and contractors to look, as well as the utilities turned on for due diligence.

The problem is that they are gambling and if they are inexperienced or under capitalized to meet the obligation in the event of problems... you end up having to foreclose to reacquire a property that is likely poorly maintenanced if not trashed.

We are currently looking at duplexes with 4br 2ba, and it seems that historical utilities combined for these if the owner pays are in the neighborhood of 300-400$ a month.It definitely is a gamble in Northeast Ohio to take the time to install additional meters to pass on the fees to the tenant, but you are right that if it means I have to lower rents to compensate its a wash on income and a negative on the expense I accrued due to metering.

So does UK and investment banks.

Otherwise you're literally just gambling, not investing. 

Did you mean to write that you moved to Charlotte from the UK, as that would make sense, since your subject says 'new to the U.S.'
