HI all could not manage without my PM he is my eyes on the ground living  out of state out of country infact  having a great one is essential  do am glad  

Real estate’s a marathon, not a sprint, so keep your eye on the long game.

You need to incorporate the type of vintage you want to buy, your ideal value-add strategy, the market and submarket, how you want to buy, etc. 

(Especially over the last few years) Is there a catch though to the popularity I'm seeing in Columbus and investing in rentals there? 

This "guest" will be a tenant in the eye of the law so then you should treat them as a tenant and properly screen them and have them added to the lease. 

In the incorporating documents, I put my trust as the owner of the LLC.

what it sounds like you are asking is illegal in many ways, section 8 laws, local laws, duel contract laws that conflict, there always has been also those out there looking to catch you breaking them,  avoid it, dont offer it, dont entertain it, there is leeway up if the tenant meets certain conditions, say need 1 floor rental, if not rent may be inflated over realistic market, which is what rented at not listed at, keeping in mind sec 8 market rents also include utilities paid, you can usually reach by email fastest, they have set chart, heat type, neighborhood etc, more than listings found online

I'm not going there because it too would be a complete waste of time and money, but if you are really wanting to "catch a bad guy", that might be a more fruitful route.

There are many deals with assumable loans at 3.5% so going SUBTO is a great opportunity to catch them.

After that’s opened, then you can usually open the accounts for the Cells using a combination of the Series LLC’s incorporation number and the individual Cell’s Federal Tax Identification Number.
