If a single level you might consider 55+ independent living.

Additionally if you are deeding the property you live in to an LLC you may lose the homestead exemption which could actually increase your taxes. 

Are you looking to find a home to buy for yourself to live in? 

Hey Jack,I'm currently living in R.I and I grew up in MA.

I live in California but am looking to invest in Texas, Alabama.  

I lived in Austin for a couple years.

Good morning,Bigger Pockets Forums, Today I’m doing the inspection of what I hope becomes my first real estate investment.I spent the last 2 months reading, listening to podcasts, talking to other investors, combing through listings, and visiting properties in Baltimore near where I live.  

I lived in Carlisle for 10 years or so.

At minimum, stage the living room and primary bedroom to give it some warmth.That said, have you thought about cutting bait and putting your money into a market where the numbers actually work?

You can't rent out a PO box and live there.And yea that sounds like a huge red flag to me.
