@Phil Petite Forming an LLC in Tennessee is recommended if your rental properties are located there, as it simplifies legal compliance, avoids the need to register as a foreign LLC, and aligns the LLC with Tennessee's laws for property management and tenant disputes.

For example, Ohio Real Title provides property lien search services across all 88 counties in Ohio, making it a convenient option for obtaining a thorough analysis before bidding on a property.Ohio Real Title is the company I use, and we have a joint venture with them.

I set an arbitrary goal of obtaining 10 reviews on Vrbo before incorporating Airbnb; however, this process took longer than anticipated, as only 77% of Vrbo guests left reviews.

I don't recommend throwing the baby out with the bath water, and definitely make sure you understand the nature of the Mentor you choose.BP is a great resource to meet some amazing people. 

Many people choose NOT to have this, because the administrator will then vet every investment you make to ensure you do not invalidate your IRA.Invalidating your IRA means that you've done a prohibited transaction and the entire account is then deemed as distributed to you.If you don't want checkbook control, then I recommend a plan administrator such as Equity Trust - www.trustetc.comIf you are sure that you're aware of all the rules around prohibited transactions and disqualified people (who you can and can't do business with), then a plan administrator like Sense Financial would be a good place to start talking.  

I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now.
