Additionally, the owner's offer to share a copy of his passport, intended as a gesture of transparency, inadvertently contributed to our apprehensions.Given the paramount importance I place on maintaining the trust and security of my client relationships, I chose to err on the side of caution in this instance.

I think we need to keep blaming the landlords and introduce additional rent control legislation to fix the issue. 

I suggest Nevada because of the proximity to CA, landlord friendly, and low property taxes.

On the other, the local attorney, while more expensive upfront, could offer more tailored advice and peace of mind, knowing that a professional is handling everything.Please share your experiences, suggestions, and any questions you think I should be asking either ZenBusiness or a local attorney before making my decision.

Any suggestions or personal experiences/insight would be appreciated.

Open to any suggestions on how to succeed, where to find deals, and where to make connections/local meetups.Looking forward to connecting!

@Manny Vasquez beat us to the suggestion of requiring at least a 12 month apprenticeship-like program working under a licensed agent or broker.

Any suggestions on which option should i choose?

I would suggest you look at old posts on wholesaling and listen to some BP podcasts. 

Thanks for the suggestion.
