Hi, I currently live in Santa Cruz, California.

If it's not, my presumption would be that there is no "protection period" for you agent - unless CA law provides for a minimum period.It's better that you not end up finding out in court though.

I heard if I use 1 member LLC from WY and have california LLC in it, still the california will apply california law (dont recognize 1 member LLCs). 

don't know about that state but I know CA OR and WA have very strict laws on what you can and cannot do with someone in distress IE in foreclosure.. check with the state or a good real estate attorney taking advice from the internet is not wise with something like this I think .. unless an attorney familiar will pop on and give an opinion..

I am looking to start out in the Glendale, CA area and I also have a lot of knowledge on the New York City area, where I grew up. 

Hey Anna,If I bought a coastal rental here in CA today, all things being equal, it's cash flow will be significantly less that if I bought it in 2008.

I'm wondering if, in the state of CA, we can claim depreciation on our condo since, technically, owners of a condo do not actually own any part of the physical building, just the airspace between the walls. 

I'm actually looking to invest outside of CA as well.

From what they are telling me California, parts of Arizona, and parts of Texas are starting to see a slow in the market also. 

Hi All, I live in san jose, CA and own a single family home.
