That's the opportunity.I also recommend engaging an 'investment focused' realtor (not the general residential ones) to guide you through the process and provide you with market intelligence. 

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

@Alex Washburn makes really good points - the process is definitely not easy. 

My current goal is to analyze properties for potential deals on BP pro daily and start wrapping my head a general understanding of the process. 

I want a good turn key property that can be set up with a management company and I would like to repeat this process at least two or three times this year. 

They provided registered address and limited mail forwarding for free and the process was fast and efficient.

I think if you can nail that down you will be able to find a market easier.As a buy and hold investor some of the things that were important to me when deciding on a market were landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio, housing demand, ability to build a team, large population 500K plus, multi-family availability and some other factors.take the process step by step and you will be fine. 

We’re really best suited for those high income earners out there with strong investment experience and cash positions to literally take the reigns and create a strong cash flow product and tax write off for them with minimal time spent on their part.

All this just to hopefully cashflow a few hundred $$ a month, doesn't seem worth it.Lately, I am really leaning on just investing in REIT's like Realty Income (o). as I write this Realty Income is at $57.75 paying $0.264 monthly dividend.  

When it comes to getting approved for a loan, the process can be a bit more complicated for foreign citizens.
