If you plan to relocate to other areas of the country in short term, it may be better idea to rent and downsize to save money. 

In short, I’m all about getting as much info as I can before I start really delving into making deals.With education in mind, what are some audiobooks that you would recommend for beginners?

I'm looking forward to visiting @Kyle Godbout and @Dennis Tierney I'll send you a connect request here shortly. 

It may even be no LLCs at all initially, as long as your attorney approves of it.Also, for a beginner investor, I highly recommend starting investing in your own backyard - i.e. driveable distance from where you live and work.

I’m still trying to determine the market (or markets) I want to get into, but am definitely looking at something long distance as southern CA property is a bit too expensive for my initial jump.Here’s a little background on me:I’m born and raised in Orange County, CA.

So an update on the situation...I talked to my landlord and to make a long story short, he's 'very much considering' selling the property.

Then personalizing an individuals RE short term rental data with functionality tools similar to what AirDNA and Mashvisor have.

It's extremely important if you're not in the right position to execute, buy, whatever.That said, if you're short cash, there are investors, hard money lenders, etc. 

All aspects of the rentals are going well and cash flowing good but I feel I am going to hit a ceiling shortly continuing in this manor.

But as i will manage the property i think will be better and easier the long term rent by at least one year contract for family from here, than make shorts rentals for tourists.
