The properties in South Lake are a little bit nicer, bigger, and cheaper, so if I could chose I would do South Lake Tahoe, unless I could benefit being a NV resident or could be beneficial long term for rental property. 

May also be of benefit to clarify when saying stocks that means stocks NOT mutual funds (which are NOT stocks fyi for those not understanding). 

Some are cheaper to form them, some more complicated, and some allow you to create Series LLCs which are beneficial as well.

I don't think the cost segregation study will be be beneficial enough to justify the cost.

I’m focused more in the SFH and smaller multi-family space, but I think a mix of commercial and residential could be beneficial.

"It takes 3 seconds for the landlord to do it "We must be talking different things then, estoppels need lessor/lessee signatures - More than 3 seconds.If you're talking about stipulation that a rent roll is true/accurate, then that's not an estoppel.In OR, we don't use estoppels often on properties besides commercial spaces with long term tenants.On apartments, you get a current and mutually accepted copy of the lease assigned to you as buyer to enforce.

Not sure if it would be more beneficial to have someone in FL with more knowledge of Florida real estate, or someone in CA who knows CA tax better. 

Maybe that was more clear on why if you look at monthly costs it can be beneficial to buy as well.  

I have mutual connections locally here with a couple developers that I will reach out to.
