The mortgage is currently under my name, so I’m unsure what benefits, if any, I’d gain from using an LLC in this situation.

I am about to buy my first property in Ohio and I would like to gain as much information as I can in regards to the different legal issues of which I can face in Ohio.

Price RangeDefine your financial boundaries based on available capital and borrowing ability:For Class A & B, financing typically covers 75%-80% of the purchase price, allowing you to buy properties in the $6M-$12M range if you have $2.3M total cash.For Class C & D, due to higher risk, the price range might be reduced to $5M-$10M with the same cash.5.

For me, I have very little to gain from posting at all. 

Start with one property to gain confidence before scaling.

Business loans typically won't let you purchase a property if you read the fine print.

Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?

To Sum it up, its a good idea if you can exceed the cost of capital (higher rate than your cost of debt) with what you earn on your heloc/debt you pull out and invest.The question is how much gains above is enough to substantiate the risk of your variable interest rate, well thats up to your personal investing criteria.

Beefing up your portfolio holdings  (even if your individual ownership in the deal is modest) is one of the best ways to gain credibility.
