I'm currently looking into the Columbus area but after I contacted the clerk of courts and emailed someone in charge they, I never received a response on where to see a list of these properties.

@Walchli DonnaAs an fyi next time you do this use a licensed loan servicer and charge it back to the borrower - it’s $25-$30 / mo and they handle all the payments and loan balance as well handle all the tax documents as well.

Almost all their competitors simply charge a $1/month/ per unit fee as you grow your portfolio, and I think that approach, still capped at $80/month, would be much better than these big steps. 

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

I build most of my projects myself but since I generally work with out of area investor partners on my projects, these costs are generally what any GC in this area would charge.

So you may just end up delaying ordinary deductions and increasing ordinary income with recapture under 1245.This also means you may get tax deductions at a rate lower for deductions when you have less income, and higher rates charged on recapture in the year of disposal.

Software will add notifications for rent charges and late charges, but is that really worth $30 a month?

Why don't the banks simply charge a higher interest rate to secure the business and cover themselves?

An attorney wants to charge me $1000 to look over & make changes to my agreement.

In your case it would be clear that the tenant would be charged to clean out the septic system.
