Real estate laws in Texas would impose duties on the owner of the property, but if you have the entity in California, you might also be subject to their laws regarding business entities, doubling the number of laws you have to check in maintaining your LLC. 

Push through- action is vital and it's better to do an okay deal than no deal at all.

Hey Eileen, Fellow Active Duty, VA investor and Realtor here!

I’m active duty Air Force and found that many brick and mortar brokerages wouldn’t work for me.

I'm currently active duty army stationed at fort hood in the town of killeen,tx about 1 hour north of austin.  

I feel that it is my Honor and Duty to give recognition where it is due. 

The additional "host" duties on an MTR aren't that bad.

In other words, you will be paying double what you should be if they had fulfilled their fiduciary duty with adequate planning and assessments over those 10 plus years.Every common and limited common element has a statistically predictable useful life, and needs to be accounted for in the long term planning.

I'd almost recommend having a segregation of duties on those because some turnkey companies are incentivized to get the highest paying tenant regardless of credit/income underwriting to then sell it to you at a max cap rate.You can find a good investor friendly agent and tell them you want turnkey homes, then hire a home inspector once you go under contract to verify condition, then put your go to property manager in place when you close.

When you signed your buyers representation agreement there should be a portion that says CLIENT OBLIGATIONS - at least in Texas there is - In that portion it outlines what your duties are to your realtor.
