Significant expertise in those areas will likely be prerequisites for a deal like the one you described.Generally, it's a smart move for beginners to start with beginner strategies (like a buy and hold LTR, or house hacking a single fam or small multi fam property).For a beginner, the deal you described is sort of like trying to ski down a double black diamond the first time you ever put on skis--the chances of disaster are very high, and the chances of success are almost non-existent.Give yourself the highest chance of success, and minimize the chances of failure by finding a strategy that fits your level of experience--if you're a beginner, don't try to execute a highly advanced strategy.

I am a highly organized minimalist: I take meticulous care of my environment, and can fit most of what I physically own in one backpack.

My understanding is if you are buying it for investment and it is real property it fits the bill.

I think I would genuinely enjoy hiring contractors to fix up a home in a vision I see fit; and of course I would enjoy the profit off the sale of those flips.I have a decent job working as a government contractor in the IT field, but I have a dream to be able to leave that work and go all in with real estate someday. 

I would focus on financial planner that is the proper fit far more than them being local. 

Commercial properties are also an option, but residential seems more of a fit for us.

Google then to see what fits your needs. 

They might require the mortgage to be in your name, even if the property is under your LLC.PS: since you're in California ask a real estate attorney or your CPA about the Delaware Statutory Trust and find out if it's a good fit for you.

I would suggest doing some research on what company would best fit what you are looking to get out of your tenant screening.Good luck with everything and happy landlording!

Only issue is it's subscription based and may not fit a 1 time list that your looking to make.
