Hi Mike,
How's it going ? I've also been looking at midtown Sacramento for multifamily. I could be wrong but I thought I saw that Sacramento requires primary residence for the owner for STR.
Do you live in Sacramento or nearby ?Do you manager your property yourself ?
Best, Kwanza

Quote from @Michael Baum:
Hey @Kwanza P.. Like others have said, you don't need an LLC to get started with STRs.
If you own a single unit or even 2 or 3, simply make sure you have the best insurance to cover any issues as well as an umbrella that can cover any excesses.
Plus the major key will be maintenance. Keep up on any thing that crops up that needs repair. Even little things like a loose outlet.
If you have decks and stairs, they need to be perfect. No loose boards, popped screws, solid railings.
Don't put it off for even a day to get them repaired.

What kind of lawyer do I need to help me get started in a STR business? Anyone set up their LLC in California?

Quote from @Greg O'Brien:
This is an interesting thread. I do not have any relationship with them but do know they seem to be extremely knowledgeable. One thing that stuck out here is the navigation and coordination of legal/asset protection and CPA/Tax services. Our firm decided to integrate the two a few years back because of the constant push/pull and inconsistent advice between the two services...thus, we determined finding a strategic legal/asset protection partner, versed in our tax planning, was the correct route to go for our clientele.

Quote from @Cheryl Dopp:
If you do the consultation, you want to be clear on which entities are Operating Entities and which are Holding Entities. And which manager managed vs member managed and what agreements needed between the entities and who provides and maintains. It's a big fuzzy hot mess.

I have been wanting to buy a multi family in Palo Alto, CA where I live currently. So far, both my realtor and loan officer are saying that the multi family units in Palo Alto are not good deals and are overpriced. How do I know if this is true? What should I look at to decide if I should go for it anyway?

Thanks, it all sounds good as long as I can avoid paying hefty taxes and generate cash flow. Don’t have the time to do property management right now however as I have a full time W2 (accredited investor) and a family to raise.

Thanks Bradley. Amy tops on finding a “good” networking group? Also, I’m likely to invest out of state as California is too expensive.
