If you file an eviction then it must be filed locally, if your LLC is sued they will sue locally. 

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate won't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.It's an incredibly powerful benefit if you do meet the criteria.

Out of curiosity would anyone be willing to share any experience with non-paying renters who've vacated the property prematurely?

Hey Esther, thanks for sharing on the forums.

I have filed for eviction on one tenant that I have placed in my career, and I was able to negotiate him out long before the court date. 99% of the time, eviction should not be a driver for whether you invest. 

I’m eager to learn from people who have been through it already and are open to sharing their knowledge.

If they did not provide a forwarding address we send it to the unit address, hoping they filed a change of address form.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

If these houses have stable long-term tenants, I share your concern.
