@Philip J ashcroft If you will be conducting any business in the state of California with a C-corp you will be required to register your business with the state whether you incorporate in California or not.

Anyone have any suggestions on a lender that will lend on the deal not the amount of cash I have in the deal (IE take a somewhat hard money approach -- if I will spend $XK on repairs doing X, X and X to repair the property up - they will conduct an appraisal and use the after repair value as the basis for what you will be loaned --- so if the house is fixed up and it will be worth 100k - the bank would lend me 80k regardless of what I bought it for - so if I bought it for 50 that basically would give me 30 k in draws to work with on repairs.There is a lender here locally that will lend on deals like that -- hoping to find one there so i can find a house and fix it up for my wife/family to live in.

hello donna, please refer to a knowledgeable real estate attorney in your area, each state from california to NY has different rules and bylaws for operating an LLC, but the question you asked pertaining to 'domestic llc' is more or less an domicile reference, if you operate in the state that you have set-up your llc you will be operating as a domestic llc,  if you will be conducting business in another state you would be referred to as 'foreign llc', please don't take my advice and run open an LLC domestic or foreign until you talk with someone locally who is more qualified than me, *****i am not an attorney no present myself as such**** always due your due diligence i hope this helps keep posting but most of all keep sharing good luck 

The rule clarifies that the LLC’s membership must be limited to family, sets forth the application process for the exemption and notes that the exemption is not applicable to engage in conduct that loan originators are otherwise prohibited from engaging in as outlined in ORS 86A.224 and 86A.236.

However, you should always be conducting your own research to see which areas returns work best for your own investing strategy. 

You could also use PropStream or ListSource to pull a list of free and clear properties, conduct a skiptrace to get the owner's contact info, and directly reach out to them.

But like every other profession 5% of the professionals conduct 95% of the business.  

Could someone who is familiar with working with non performing 1st please help me in how to properly conduct the due diligence for these notes.

You just have to be certain to conduct scheduled maintenance.
