I typically use regional banks to fund my deals but my 2 go-to banks have either slowed or fully stopped investment loans so recently I've connected with several online brokers but all came from ads or they reached out to me vs personal recommendations and intros so I have concerns. 

The better question is to figure out how to get insurance and resolving the reason that is preventing it.

Of course, with all things, the answers to all these matters will depend on the circumstances.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Hey BP, I’m new to San Angelo, TX and was trying to find out if there are any investment groups that meet up around town.

I have some out of state Airbnb's and having people you know, like, and trust there is huge so that is great that you are originally from Ohio so hopefully you can find some good connections there.

Who pays the bill if the AC goes out on your unit? 

I found out from the seller that 2 of the units pay through cash app, 2 are on Section 8, and the rest they pick up in cash.

As soon as I got it, I reached out to the HOA management company with my deed and started paying my monthly assessments. 

Sometimes if clients aren't actively buying or selling I won't go out of my way to send them deals.

I finally decided to close the doors mainly because the unit used was not available anymore, but also because the regulations got stricker and stricker over time.Now, if you want to use your 2-4 as an STR, you need to show proof that you are living in the unit you are renting by sharing a government-issued ID with that exact unit or your tax exemption form.If you have a building over 5 units, it's a bit easier but still challenging ( you can rent up to 25% of the units out for airbnb)...the few people I know that are successful are NOT the owners of the building, but more so the operator of the airbnb unit aka str arbitrage
