IMO investing out of state requires a fantastic team before you buy a single piece of real estate. 

You could form a single LLC for all properties, which is easier to manage but carries shared risk, or you can create an LLC for each property, which offers better protection at the cost of more administrative work.

Hey BP, Im curious on what some of you would say as the better route to go and why.I'm at a crossroads between:Starting and focusing on New construction for single-family houses to eventually get into being able to build small to medium editions as a long-term goal.

I am looking to rent out a single property in the next 6 months and wanted to get recommendations on a property management software for small time DIY. 

I will be primarily buying single family homes to start. 

The investor sector of the real estate agency side is different than the residential (more single family heavy) side for many reasons.

I am trying to gauge the difference in managing single units vs. a unit with 4 students.

My market is humming right along, except for the higher-priced single-family homes.The linked article provides some good information.What are you seeing?

Typically I would just run it through my name but there are areas of ohio that target out of state owners if its a single family and will send you fines and violations  for every little thing. you also should talk to your attorney and accountant on how it impacts taxes

If you are asking unit count than about 60ish and that does not include single families.
