Here is what looks like a fairly detailed article for California:https://rentprep.com/blog/legal/california-abandoned-propert...Best of Luck!

I live in North Dakota, and I came across an apartment complex for sale in one of the state’s oil-heavy cities.

Here is the context: I'm an investor out in California and have $30k to get started.

Montero, Marine Corps veteran and founder of Summit Legacy Holdings, a California-based holding company focused on building long-term wealth through BRRRR real estate investing, land acquisition, and sustainable development.I started my credit and financial journey with very limited resources, using small tools like the Self App, disciplined credit building, and consistent vendor accounts to position myself for real estate investing.

Quote from @Ronald Mejia: Hey everyone,I’m based in Southern California but currently invest in my hometown of Stamford, CT.

.- These will be investment properties, not primary residences, as I currently live in San Francisco, CA.- I've already started the pre-approval process with a credit union based in North Carolina, but I'd love some help understanding how to structure the gift of equity correctly for investment properties, what documentation may be required, and if there are any specific limitations or tax implications I should consider.- My goal is to close on both homes by the end of the year or early next year.If anyone has experience with gift of equity transactions for invest properties -- especially in North Carolina or involving out-of-state buyers -- or can recommend a loan officer, lender, or real estate attorney familiar with this setup, I'd really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!

Hot take: Your first deal SHOULD be messy, uncomfortable, and borderline stupid… and mine definitely was.In 2017, I bought a house in Little Rock sight unseen from California for $28,250.It was a foreclosure listed on Zillow.It looked rough online.In person?

There may be other management companies other than Book and Ladder but on their website here are locations with cities.

That partnership is essential.I’m personally licensed in both California and Kentucky and continue to work with several clients in the Louisville market.

The same is true for the independent escrow companies that often have a notary on staff, which is common here in Southern California.
