In general, would you recommend getting a lawyer in the area where the LLC is registered?

I would not recommend this one.

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.  

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hi Joe,I think going with a LOC is going to provide you with more flexibility than going through the process of obtaining financing for a purchase transaction.

I personally don't like the idea of using OPM as is often recommended for people without their own capital.

Hi Kyle, I would recommend chatting with a property manager in the specific city of Ohio you're looking to buy in.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?

Quote from @Bob Avery: I don't recommend leaving a space blank because someone could later attempt to add something in.

@Anthony Saheed I would advise you to be very careful to recommend people to speculate in volatile real estate markets.
