Hey Victor,I would recommend shopping around at a bunch of different brokerages and finding ones with the best split and broker for guidance. 

@Ryan SummersNo matter what California is going to get you whether your LLC is in California or notMy recommendation just buy in your name and get an umbrella policy

It's definitely recommended to get permits if you have not.

If you were looking to house hack I would recommend finding something that you could rent the top out as an air bnb (STR) and live in the basement with a completely separate entrance. 

I recommend getting a few under your belt before you get into heavier rehabs

I would recommend starting with something fairly small and close to turn key or with minimal renovations required.

I'd always recommend flying out to where you plan to invest to get a feel for the market and to meet your team in person.

The program is good but the community is outstanding they will expedite your understanding of the business help you/ your business grow exponentially - so far I recommend completely  - 2 weeks in and I already have 2 potential deals which I am following up on this weekend (doing this part time) either way I was very skeptical and now I am extremely excited and hopeful every single day, I know 2 weeks isn't a whole lot to go off of, but I plan to make a post when I assign my first contract!!

@Gabriella NataldieWith $10k in savings and $8k in hospital bills I would not be buying a multifamily propertyA roof, hvac system or major repair would wipe out that $10k.Closing costs alone on the property would be more than $10k.While it’s awesome to be ambitious, I recommend focusing on saving $ and building up enough capital so you can comfortably afford to buy a property

We’ve had a couple recommendations but aren’t sure what to do regarding an LLC.
