@Matt EngleThank you for response, my goal is to reach financial freedom In the shortest time possible by using real estate as an investment vehicle, having the ability to be flexible and live the life I want and be around my family as much as possible, support my parents/famil y and build a community in my native country of Zimbabwe.

California LLCs can be more of a PITA than other jurisdiction due to your pesky franchise tax board; but, LLCs are wonderful vehicles, even in California. 

The outbuildings will not be used for vehicle storage or any storage for that matter until I replace the roofs.

Based on some of the information I have gathered from Brian, along with some of my own research, I believe a crowdfunded deal or a private lending opportunity may be my best bet with this vehicle. 

Annnnnd with the twins we also are having to purchase a bigger vehicle too.

But there are some potential pitfalls to consider on the back-end:The mobile home adds rental income, but not necessarily appraisal value (in most states, they are titled as vehicles, not real estate).

If you are actively flipping that makes you self-employed and eligible for this vehicle. 

Why is he still working under the table out of a Toyota Camry when company's like mine have a fleet of vehicles? 

I’ve always been aware of real estate investing as a wealth generation vehicle, but I was always uncertain if it was one within my reach.

I finally found the vehicle that would take me closer to my goal of living my best life.I am extremely excited to learn more about real estate investing.
