Sayo, welcome to BP Nation, it appears we have several things in common.

Which markets across the nation have not recovered yet?

My last little venture of sales was selling KIRBY vacuum cleaners door to door and I just happened to break records my first month and was nationally recognized.

No matter how you look at it, it's a business.A different question is whether you give your business a name by filing a fictitious business name statement (AKA doing business as or DBA) or take it even one step further and form a legal entity such as a corporation or LLC.An advantage of having a named business is that it might add a sense of legitimacy in the eyes of some.

I'm not a lawyer or CPA, but here's my research:First, this next link notes that construction (I read this as property management as well) in another state is regarding as conducting business in that state, so 'someone' is paying state taxes should they exist.http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/incorporation-and-legal-structures/conducting-business-as-a-corporation-or-an-llc-out-of-state.htmlNext, a CPA I trust wrote me:The filing requirements for nonresidents is predicated on the manner in which the underlying entity (the property developer’s or crowdfunder’s LLC) files its tax returns.

That said, some California markets are forecasted to achieve the highest appreciation rates in the nation over the next 12 months so the investment thesis is compelling.

If it wasn't for my finding the BP Nation last spring, it wouldn't be happening nearly as quickly (quickly, for me)- or at all.Hang in there - just do NOT give up!!!

Welcome to BP Nation @Cynthia Scott There are a ton of Baltimore investors here on the forum.

I'm looking to get out of the corporate world, and focus on building my own wealth.

I spent too many years in the 8-5 corporate finance rat race.
