There are a ton of property management companies.

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

The macroeconomics for Columbus Ohio are on fire especially with population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here so there's amazing appreciation as well.

Personally, I wouldn't open up a home that isn't in good repair, from a liability standpoint if nothing else.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

While personal loss is difficult and understandable, running a business that directly impacts property owners requires a contingency plan.

@Levi Perl Since your single-member LLC (SMLLC) is a disregarded entity, all rental income or losses are reported directly on your personal tax return rather than at the LLC level.

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: I would call the companies (gas/water/electric) to get estimates, or an estimator out there.
