I have done deals in Florida again as long as you have everything in place you CAN do a wholesale deal in Florida please do not listen to most of the people on this site as Bigger pockets, Brokers and some small RE agents try to scare others away form conducting such business John Thedford is trying to scare you away LOLLLL I did it with a team this is why I say read and ask questions but DO NOT listen to the bull brokers try to scare you with as brokers do not want us to get money LOL most of them are jokes... as I said set your team up your NOT acting as a broker you will have all that well in advance again bigger pockets and other clowns will try to make you back off as they want all the meat on the bone LOL....

Any due diligence work conducted on the property is contracted for and paid for by the Buyer. 

We're conducting a brief survey, and want to know a bit about what real estate investing, and BiggerPockets have done for your financial lives. 

@Al Casino Speaking from my experience in only Commercial Brokerage, most business is naturally conducted during business hours.  

The structure itself looks sound at first glance, I have not conducted a 3rd party building inspection yet but is in store for the near future if the offer pans out.  

Also speak to the banks involved in those deals.One last and often overlooked but super important step is to conduct criminal background check as well as run the credit report. 

I would like to be as hands-off as possible and simply make real estate a way for me to create passive income for myself4) I would like to invest in properties within Southern California, although it is expensive I believe I can find deals here in Long Beach, Riverside, Joshua Tree, Palms springs, and in general places outside of Los Angeles and Orange County5) Also open to investing out of state in places like Texas (where my parents live and I can partner with my father), Las Vegas (because its only a 4 hour drive and can make the drive when I need to), and Pennsylvania (where my girlfriends parents live and can possibly partner with them on those properties)I also want real estate to help me accomplish a few BIG goals in life. 1) I want to buy a home for myself here in Los Angeles so I can continue to conduct business here in hollywood.

I always conduct a cost benefit analysis to determine the best strategy.Good Luck.

Someone who knows all your information would be best suited to know your answer.California is very broad in their definition of doing business in CA.If you create additional entities but still conduct the business within CA, they may require you to file a state tax return within the state.Location of bank address does not necessarily have any impact where the state will consider that the entity does business in.

We always conduct additional data mining to corroborate contact information that Reonomy provides, but it still saves time.
