If you do not have deep pockets it is not a investors market.

It's not an unfair stigma to say that the vast majority of fix-and-flippers live and breathe this mentality, it's just an inconvenient and ugly truth about real estate that everyone who's in the industry quietly acknowledges or loudly denies.

It's not cheap to live here in Los Angeles but it's not cheap to live in New York either but people love both cities and want to be where there are opportunities.If people can afford to live in both Los Angeles and New York they'll do it even if the taxes are high. don't forget North side Chicago  and Boston along with Seattle in the high priced category. and even Charleston SCI just sold a house that I built in Charleston for just a TAD under 1000 a foot.. pretty cool for mid deep south

That's very deep and true.

I agree - it is pretty asinine that you aren't able to title in an LLC you personally own, I'd love to see some policy changes soon as I run into this issue a lot but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd be much better off finding an investor after writing this post out and deep considerations of my options.

And you could lose everything....If you're scared of heights you'll probably never jump off a bridge, even if you know the water is deep enough to save you.

Houses are worth less without them here, it is very uncommon to not have one, except for large apartments and commercial stuff.The reason we have them here, is because the frost line is 4' (that means how deep does the ground freeze).

No way for you to truly be separate from the property as you're living there, interacting with the tenant (your neighbor) daily etc.....In short, You are already knee deep in it no sense spending money on a PM.

Who knew landlording would bring up such deep questions with no easy answers.If we are not going to accept certain people, effectively deciding they do not have the right to live anywhere, then what?
