We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

From then I knew real estate investing would be in my future.

That's one of the most common fallacies in real estate investing.

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.

Sadly, real estate rocks does not work anymore

@James TobinJames, congratulations on deciding to take the first step into real estate investing!

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

The first images of his website did not focus on real estate investments, but materialism. 

Quote from @Havital Miltz: Normally you would set the LLC in the state where the property is.You have no tax benefits for setting up an LLC, it is more a protection from lawsuits and going after your personal assets, however not a guarantee....As a husband and wife you do not need to set up a partnership - IRS has special considerations for married couples for self employment, you could also apply that for a rental...Hope that helpsA joint venture is available to any 2 people co-owning real estate for investment purpose as tenant in common  under Proc. 2002-22 (unrelated to marriage) but it can't be owned in an LLC together.
