For now, robust insurance can provide liability protection, with an LLC added later as your portfolio grows, balancing California's fees with liability needs.

A specific property you find online would be even better.

A friend advised me to check reviews online and look for someone local with experience in single-family homes.

Each town is a little different, some require you to do a landlord registration and/or will want to do an inspection before you put a tenant in (calling the town would probably be the easiest, or they may have the info right online).

Recommended resources include books, podcasts, websites, forums, and online courses.

We use Quickbooks Online for our main accounting software.  

@Ryan DaultonFrom my experience, the best way to find partners in real estate is through networking events, local REI groups, and online platforms.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

@MikeLambert thanks for all the insight on Tulum I love the town and would like to purchase A condo For myself don’t care if it doesn’t make much money  but obviously would like a great location I am a dual citizen and want own property in MexicoI probably won’t stay there much if at all I just love to buy real estate one of my addictions 😂Searched online There are so many developments from $100k - $200k would be my comfort level if any of you guys have recommendations on location would appreciate it 

Localize City (Homebuyers and investors who want a deeper understanding of neighborhood dynamics and potential risks)  AGAIN, ALL BS, I can show you neighborhoods that you will run away from if you sit online and  " learn" 8.
