Being OOS with a property manager watching over your property.

Are you a property manager?

For individuals tethered to a W-2 job, this presents an opportunity to judiciously manage their tax liabilities while exploring supplemental income avenues.If this sounds like something that fits your investing goals, please reach out.

Smaller apartments (under 50 units) are hard to manage cost-effectively. 

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.

How did you manage the logistics and ensure a smooth transition for your kids?

Unless you have tons of experience already with corporate management (or military command), it's going to take time to learn how to understand and manage the PEOPLE who are your tenants.

No need to manage it.

@chris wang@Chris Wang I would start with a property manager and get advice, they may be able to do it for you. 

I began by listing my property on zillow property manager given its large reach.
