I have 5 properties/15 units (4 SFHs with 1 local, 3 out-of-state and one 11 unit local with co-owners).

4th lowest property taxes, no state income tax, landlord friendly, close to Utah, tech and manufacturing job growth.

For example, in NC the only dark blue areas are the largest counties in the state, even though Brunswick (Wilmington NC) and Pender Counties are growing faster as a percentage of population increase.

@Greg Martin we don't disagree with what you've stated.

Unfortunately but predictably, the Sheriff would not remove the occupant, though the deputies were very friendly and went as far as to reach out to the state attorneys office for guidance.

I know Oregon has its issues with being a very tenant friendly state, but people are making it work.

We will be out of state so doing it myself is not really an option.First, half of the inquiries I've sent have not been responded to.

As others have stated AirDNA is a great source and the latest article about the best places to invest is a great place to start.

Hey, I’ve been on the fence about jumping into real estate investing and or moving out state.

Same goes for number of LLCs and what to fund them with, since bear in mind that CA tends to be more cumbersome and expensive to have LLCs than other states.California is generally more cumbersome than other states when it comes to taxes and filings.
