I would suggest to meticulously research the area in regards to the class of neighborhoods, school ratings, crime rates and demographics as some areas cash flow well but require more "management" due to the class of the neighborhoods.

By the grace of God I've managed to hang on to most of my family's Farm from government aided land grabs and I'm looking to educate myself on the various options available to me for an exit strategy of this property.

As far as I’ve seen, self-managers like to use Buildium to manage.

This is a very different model than the owning your own asset and managing yourself to optimize cash flow like in Short Term Rental Long Term Wealth, but it is a legit syndication.I have not personally invested with them but I know their head of data very well and I have seen that their underwriting is RIGOROUS.

Are they harder to manage than duplexes?

Looks like I should have asked more questions :) Okay some of the comments are assuming you plan to be the main operator and you won't hire a property manager.

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

No property is perfect, especially an older one, but with good management, most risks can be minimized upfront.

He acts as project manager, sources, finds the subs, and even oversees the staging.
