I've lived in Houston and McAllen, TX and visited FL. I detest the heat and humidity, so no, in my opinion, those states do not have great weather. 

Depends on what you like.

I have heard this claim before, but California-based attorneys who work with my clients do not agree with it. Did Clint offer any substantiation for his claim, like a code citation or a court case?

When we moved from Seattle to Arizona, California placed a lien on us, even though we had never done business in California, had no properties in California, had never lived in California, had no LLCs in, near, above, below or even thinking about being in California. 

I called, they wouldn't remove the lien (board of equalization or something like that) until I could prove it wasn't me. How does one even do that?  How do you prove a negative?
I believed the hype "innocent until proven guilty". Nope, that is not true in California.

So, from then on, no thought of even doing business California. Why would I subject myself to King George all over again. My people left him in the dust back in 1776. Apparently he moved to California.



 Don't get me started. The best thing about CA is the weather. And it is glorious, but everything else is atrocious.

Rent to Retirement supposedly has cash-flowing properties for sale. 

Has anyone invested with this company?

Thanks.

Clint Coons, Esq. claims that if you hold title to an out-of-state property in an out-of-state LLC held by a Wyoming Statutory Trust, you

    can avoid the $800/yr per LLC that we have to pay as CA residents.

    Can anyone verify this?

    Thanks.
