As you know, water is increasingly scarce in the Western U.S. — where 72 percent of our region is in "severe" drought, 26 percent is in “exceptional” drought, and populations are booming.

I saw one property in Columbus GA that interests me (which needs a lot of work) I am based on the west coast.

Later on I'll want to invest out of state and would like to stay on the west coast or northern regions of USA.

Also does anyone have experience setting up an LLC for a Western New York rental property as an out of state investor?

[Some banks that handle non-recourse:  Titan, Solara, First Western]. 

Looking to network with other STR hosts in the western NC mountains.

I live on the West Coast but find value in being a member.Vena Jones-Cox who runs the club also hosts a weekly radio show (free) I think you'd enjoy.

Plus you would also owe 25% taxes on that $100k you depreciated.As far as states chasing you down, I THINK only California and for some reason a unique east coast state like PA have strange  taxes/laws regarding 1031 exchanges. 

Looking for a real estate lawyer near Palm Coast/Flagler beach areas who has experience with TIC and partnership agreements.

@Warren Marshall We're not in PCB directly but up the coast a bit off of 30A.
