That'd make it easier as far as deciding which state to open the LLC in.If you open the LLC for say Nevada, but do business (own properties) in California, you'll have to pay foreign entity fees/tax...and that's pointless.Next, you need a very good operating agreement for your LLC.

I notice that investors from CA will buy a huge apartment complex in TX, AR, or TN, but you don't see an investor from those states buying big in more expensive markets. 

Most people that put their house on the market (mainly in CA) are looking for as much appreciation as possible so rarely you will find home significantly below market.  

Like "what is your plan when there's an earthquake and California falls off the face of the earth?"

Hello! My name is Erkang You. I'm software engineer working a 9-5 job.I have zero knowledge about real estate, but I'm very interested. I would like to learn about rental property investment to diversify my income.Loo...

I closed my LLC last year do to the annoying $1800 a year I was paying California.

If you look at areas on the Coasts or Southwest (Primarily: CA,OR,WA,NV,NM,AZ), you see it less.The issue is with some of the 10 caps I see, they really need to be 15 caps to deal with the risks involved with some of them.

I recently moved from Louisiana to California to open my first storefront for my business.In the process of everything, I have been studying real estate on the side and decided to get started with my journey.I have particularly been studying wholesaling.

I'm in the Sacramento Ca area and I'm hoping to get into investing into real estate with in the next 6 months.
