Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

Once you have made contact, you will purchase the property or have them deed it to you through a quit claim deed subject to the liens.

Some interesting takes on here and it's a really subjective thing. 

Any material change in the terms of sale, the tenant association right of first refusal is reinstated.Despite this being a pilot program, there is no defined end date for the tenant opportunity to purchase provision.Rental properties in the pilot zone are subject to further regulationsIf a purchaser purchases a rental property and uses any public funds in the purchase, then the rental property shall be maintained as affordable housing for no less than 30 years.Landlords may not evict for any other reason than serious, or repeated violations of the terms and conditions of a lease or occupancy agreement, otherwise defined as “just cause eviction.”PenaltiesAny person who violates the requirements set forth in this ordinance shall be fined, not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for each offense.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

And, real estate tends to "wobble" quite frequently these days haha.

@Glenn N.Typically when lending you pay taxes in your home state only but if it defaults and you foreclose then you own property in Florida and would be subject to Florida taxes
