Im currently In LA county, but also lived In norther California area.

While you may be willing to live without heat/ac or hot water for a week.

Although I am just starting my journey, (just recently sold first piece of land; acquired in 2016–held and sold this past week) I live in Southern California but looking to expand to Florida and other states for REI. 

The people within your subdivision may sell the house for you, as they may have family/friends who want to live close to them, and people are always intrigued by new construction in their neighborhood. 

Anyone can live anywhere they want if they have the money, and sometimes houses are bought and then rented out without much background checking on the people moving in.

I live in Seaford, NY and have been searching for areas outside of LI to do my next deal.

It has been a long process, but I am finally living in it.

Another key benefit is diversification; an SDIRA allows you to include real estate in your portfolio, reducing risk by spreading your investments across different asset types, which isn’t possible with a standard IRA.Moreover, assets in an SDIRA often enjoy protection from creditors, adding a layer of security to your investments.

Quote from @Juan Perez: Greetings,My first home was paid off over a year ago, and I am now living in my recently purchased 2nd home.

What is the quickest and most feasible way to transition from living there to setting up this house for passive income: leaving a property manager or somebody to take care of it!
