Rentals have also shot up like crazy so I anticipate much more as the years go.I have been studying BRRRR and leveraging debt but this case is different.Would it be in my best interest to pay back the loan asap or just make the monthly payments and start saving my extra cash for my first BRRRR in the states. 

There are fix and flip loans where the total loan amount needs to be $100K between rehab, property purchase price and buyer down payment (usually 10-20% for a fix and flip loan depending on the property and borrower credit) (so the property before rehab can be worth less than $100K).If you are looking for a loan for an investment property you won't be living in that doesn't require significant rehab / ready to rent / is already rented an option is a DSCR loan.Some DSCR lenders will go down to a $75K appraised value and a $55K loan amount.

Even if your gross rental yield is (much) above the average, I'm not sure how high your cash flow is after expenses and mortgage payments, even with a 3 - 4.5% interest rate.

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.

The nasty tenant is on a month to month lease but I’m not sure if I should non-renew or just risk losing other tenants.
