Thank you, Jerry!

Got it Katie, thank you. It is a lot to think about.

Ned, not so much incouraging to invest in CA :)). I am looking to have a cash flow at the beginning.  But I guess have to see all cons and pros. Want to come in couple of weeks to the area and explore possibilities.

I appreciate very much your input, Bob. I have LLCs formed in VA and WA. I know all benefits buying through the company but consider buying on personal name as well to avoid all those fees. Will definitely need to know which areas gonna grow in a future and have a potantial for appreciation.

Thanks, Aaron for your advice! I see market in those areas is beyond craziness. My son moved to Woodland Hills for work for 2 years. So we thought to invest in 2b/2bth somewhere close to his work. Maybe its better to look at different cities in areas you mentioned.

Hello fellow investors in California,

I need your advise about purchasing real estate property in LA area ( like Westwood, Culver city, Brentwood, Santa Monica).

I am interested in 2 beds 2 baths condo/townhouse/house buy and hold. I have a budget of $350K, ready to do some cosmetic

work. My question is more about specific conditions to do business in California for out of state investors. I am from Virginia.

Also how expensive for you to run rental business considering all California fees, taxes, etc.

Is it realistic to find something with my budget as well? Thank you!

Thank you Marcia!

Hi all,

First time I have a tenant with month by month Lease. She has occupied the condo for two and a half months and now she wants to move out already. The property is in Virginia. If she leaves in the middle

of month should I charge her prorated rent or for the whole month? I appreciate any input in this subject.

Thanks for sharing your success story! 

Also a good group is CAZA in Haymarket and Reston.
