I’m not quite ready to pull the plug and buy my first home in Orange County California because the market seems high at the moment but I would like to get the ball rolling and start investing..Another question I have is should I look at starting an LLC in the state that I’m buying the property or do I have to start it in the state I’m a resident in?

Be sure to plug into your local BP community through meet-ups and investment groups.

As I get into rentals I am sure my attitude will change on this, but for now I can't stand the slow pain in the butt process and bureaucracy of a bank.

Any cigarette butts from smoking outside by you or your guests must be picked up and properly disposed of.

Plug in your purchase price and it they will break down approximate costs into line items

I have a slew of properties which show potential, that I could pull the plug on right now from him.

I'm thinking of getting out of my work in telecommunications and try to find a investor in CA to work for that I can learn under and work my butt off for.

Feel free to check it out. appreciate the plug brotha!! 

They can't give me more definite numbers (understandably) to plug in, due to covid related uncertainty. 

There are many ways to do this, from Rabbu to Airdna to good ol fashioned Airbnb research.If I see the "golden ratio" in effect, then I plug numbers into my pro forma spreadsheet to make sure it all looks good on paper.
