I, as the new homeowner, am actually moving into this home as my primary residence.

I was thinking about selling blocks of investments into the project of 50k increments and it being set up like a real estate trust/ private reit without the restrictions. any advice on something of that magnitude with multiple investors since it couldn't go forward until all blocks were filled. 

It also is helpful to have a California LLC in case you ever sell that property and move into another state so that you do not need to form a new LLC altogether with new operating agreement, just re-register in the new state as a new foreign LLC.

I haven’t done a deal yet so I was thinking that if I did a fix and flip first it would get my feet wet and I would get some experience and then I can move onto a BRRRR or becoming a landlord.  

No aspirations to continue to build and move in syndications, just plain old buy n holds in class B neighborhoods.

And now, next thing, which SOOOooooo many fail miserably at; you GOTTA make it SIMPLE, uber simple and straight forward for them to make the actions THEY would want next answered, and steering toward what YOUD want them to do.     

Would I have to move the money into my original LLC checking account at some point?

Additionally, you could also consider charging a higher security deposit in the case that you have to do any extensive cleaning of the property following their move-out. 

I know many Branson shows have foreigners that move to the area for xxxxxxx amount of time to do a show. 

I'm looking at potentially moving/investing in that area
