Applying for an LLC, which state?

[Account Closed]

I am looking to get started in Real Estate investing and was trying to obtain an LLC but I don't know which state to apply for one. I live in Indiana (on the border of Ohio) and am looking to buy property in Ohio. I wanted to use my business for tax write offs so I wasn't sure if it had to be in my state I reside in for that reason but if I do that can I still purchase in Ohio?

Thank you for the feedback. Honestly I am finding that while I was saving money to be able to do this, I probably allocated my efforts in the wrong areas (knowledge wise). I should probably reach out to a CPA. Looking to buy in Delhi (near Cincinnati) because I know the area (just moved from there). Thanks again!
