This is so helpful! Thank you so much. Yes I'm looking into LLCs at the moment, I understand in California I need to pay $800 a year but can I set I myself online or is it worth getting someone to set it up for me? Really appreciate your insight Ghassan!

Hey Sam! I feel like I am in a very similar boat - hard relate on 'the more I learn the more I need to learn' and have felt pretty overwhelmed the last week in particular with my market research. The amount of 'red' on the Bigger Deals site (in several markets) almost sent me in a spin. Also conscious of the bigger picture and everything happening with rates but also don't want to hold back any longer and just dive in...!
Anyway just wanted to say hi from a fellow newbie! 

Hi everyone!
I'm Francine - a British mum of two who recently relocated to LA for my husband's work. Over the last 6 months I've found myself applying endlessly for jobs in communications/PR/socials and getting no where so I've decided it's a sign that I should finally get into my lifelong passion of REI which would also give me the flexibility to spend as much time as possible with my babies too.
I ran a successful STR in the UK (a basement flat attached to our home) but I'm very new to how it works out here!
I recently completed a short REI ‘masterclass’ but now want to get stuck in and read/listen/ask as much as I can from those on the ground. 
I’m currently looking at getting a STR in Joshua Tree but also keen to learn more about wholesaling. Any/all advice for a newbie very much welcome!! 
Thanks so much
