Everything comes with a risk but I want to hear everyone's opinions for both states in the long run, thanks in advance It really depends on your style and goals and type of investing.I invest in multiple states and there can be some substantial differences.First decide if you want to do Flips, Long Term Rentals, Short Term Rentals, Shared Housing, Multi Family, Land, Tax Deeds, REITs, Syndication, Commercial and then decide. 

I talk about the risks involved in investing in rental properties on HoltonWiseTV everyday, and my content has been viewed in the neighborhood of 50 million times.

I also want to learn how to fund my first rental property

I tell people to start by picking a strategy (OOS long term, OOS short term rental, fix and flip, etc) THEN pick a market and submarket THEN look for good tools/people, doing it any other order tends to be an exercise in futility. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

There's an opportunity for an ADU in the backyard, but I will buy another rental property before adding the ADU.

There is also potential for an ADU in the large backyard, but I will buy another rental property before moving forward with an ADU plan.

It's even worse for landlords "The company is also asking for rate hikes of 38% for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants, with the rates taking effect May 1."

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Crossing the lines may not provide proper liability protection.Personally, I just kept my SF rentals in my name and got excellent insurance coverage, $500K per property plus a $2M umbrella.
