I am happy to talk smart contracts, governance and funding though. 

Hey @Rocky DeFalco I don't know if this is helpful at all but I invest in Indy (non section 8) and in KCMO (section 8). 

The focus of government policy (regardless of how local) should be on addressing fundamental friction.

Whether it's mold, COVID, or a non-paying renter, a quality PM acts quickly and decisively to protect people, property, and the landlord.If you feel the PM was negligent in their response, you can file a complaint with the state commission.

Putting the acceptance criteria prominently in the ad will prevent most of the non-qualified people from coming to the open house or applying.

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

Quote from @Gerald Jarreau: Is there a government agency that will need to certify the rental as mold free?

If you want an in-depth view I would:- Research government statistics (population growth, median prices, appreciation, etc)- Qualitative research- Go to meetups, talk to investors (you won't find it hard to find someone investing out of state in OH)- Use softwares like rentometer, Vestmap, etc that's what I always say.

I think you are over worried about the government coming after you.
