New construction properties can qualify for significant insurance discounts, but otherwise, I generally expect insurance in this area to run a little over 1% of the property’s value if it’s in decent condition.Feel free to DM me if you’d like a good insurance contact to shop around for a better rate.

LLC-A deducts the 10% management fee, while LLC-B reports it as active income, subject to self-employment tax but eligible for tax-efficient salary and distribution strategies.Ensure the setup has a clear business purpose, reasonable compensation, and documented management services to avoid IRS scrutiny.

I don't know the Ohio rules... but in Florida where I'm at you can expect the property to be reevaluated the year following your purchase and your property taxes will typically increase based on your purchase price, versus what the previous owner paid.We budget about $125/month for repairs/maintenance.

And what discount should I expect?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
