Instantiating players/objects at different coordinates on server/client

I've been digging around at various solutions, but haven't found an efficient way to approach this.

I would like to instantiate the same object/player, but the position would vary on the server and the client. For example, the server has the client/player at (1,1,1) while the client has itself at (0,0,0).

Would the approach be to manually create the objects separately, then sync their positions and rotations with a relative translation?
