It’s not just about defense. it’s about setting yourself up to invest with confidence.To navigate this properly, consider partnering with experienced professionals such as a real estate-savvy tax advisor and an asset protection attorney who understands your goals and risk tolerance.

Based on your career, the location, how long you'll be there, your risk tolerance, not knowing exactly how much you could invest, and you saying you still have a lot to learn, I wouldn't buy property there.The price, natural disasters, and the renter friendly laws could be enough to want to stay away, but mainly I'm thinking in 3 years if you move to the middle of nowhere do you want a bunch of rentals in LA?

There’s no one-size-fits-all mentorship, but here’s what I’d focus on:- Look for real operators with a track record through multiple cycles- Avoid anyone selling dreams with no downside discussion- Ask to talk to students—not just testimonials- Consider partnering before paying $10K+ for info you might find via deals and networkingAnd if you're hearing 20% down consistently—it’s because that's where the risk tolerances sit for good reason right now.

By choosing the right legal structures early, you can safeguard your personal assets, reduce exposure to litigation, and create stronger defenses in case of disputes.To navigate these areas effectively, I highly recommend partnering with professionals, specifically a real estate-savvy tax advisor and an asset protection attorney who understands your goals and risk tolerance.

This should include an experienced tax advisor with a strong background in real estate, as well as an asset protection attorney who understands your investment strategy and personal risk tolerance.

It entirely depends on your personal financial goals, your risk tolerance, your experience level, and even the market conditions you're operating in.

It will depend on your preferences and how well you think you will tolerate having a room mate as you approach a new life with your partner.

This is a strategy for the risk tolerant, although I think the risk is low when you can just Medium-Term rent the Airbnb if the city clamps down.If you don't have enough cash for a MFH (or are less risk tolerant), the second best route in my opinion is the 'in-law' unit SFH.
