, any personal items to be removed/locked up etc? 

do you mind referring. 

Hi Brian, I mostly pull Rentometer pro reports and cross reference with MLS and Zillow but I only focus on properties that ACTUALLY rented, not just listings.

I expanded fast and my reserves for sure suffered temporarily ( was taking some reserves for future downpayments) , but am aggressively building those back up, while growing my personal savings bucket, and do very strigegent tenant background checks and references.   

Again, refer to your lease (if reviewed by a lawyer, I hope), and your state & local laws.

Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

No internet = no tenants a lot of the times...Ensure them you'll leave them a fair reference if any future landlords contact you about their tenancy.

I'm considering doing it as an LLC to reduce liability.Thank youLike all legal items....you should consult with your attorney before making any decisions.

I am looking to connect with local investors in the southern Ohio area to learn from and work with.Which part of southern Ohio are you referring to?

Also if someone will be hammering all day that is a good to know item.
