Oddly, in general I find B to B conversations far less intimidating.

We still get the odd theft from time to time but it's easy keeping a finger on the pulse when we only do 3-4 rehabs per month or so.Just had one recently but couldn't tell you when it happened prior to that.It's just the nature of the beast and could happen anywhere.At least we don't get car windows smashed by junkies and bags stolen from cars in broad daylight like in San Fran haha

Similar to what others have said a Property Manager might be your best bet.

If you have a 2.4% rate on your first, a 2nd lien or HELOC is likely going to be your best bet to access the equity without incurring higher rates via a refinance. if you sell you wouldn't be buying a "second" property anymore. 

It's very odd to have 3 different times where they refused to allow you to fix the issues and simply moved on (after spending money on inspections).

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

If something goes sideways, I would be willing to bet 90% of these single owner LLCs formed for "asset protection" would be easily accused of piercing the corporate veil, and collapses the whole thing anyways.Depending on the state you are operating in, even if you use a Wyoming formed LLC, you will likely be required to register in the state you are operating in, which may require disclosure of that information you don't want to give up already - check to see what those states require for disclosures when registering a "foreign" LLC that is operating in the state.Literally no federal income tax benefits to where your LLC is registered. 

Also, I have recently became aware of the odds of me being a successful real estate investor are not in my favor.

Oddly, several people post about how exciting the learning they paid the $8,900 mentor program is, but no one seems to have done a deal or made money from it.
