I was told that a ground-floor condo are better than a second floor condo ( If there's no elevator and Stairs are present).

@Matt McNabb no one's asking you the most important questions:1) How many hours/week do you put in at your day job?

I will under no circumstances take responsibility for the safety of a tradesmen if there are pets on the property.2.

The Midwest is going to benefit, no doubt.

There is no way you can do both in Arkansas. 

Purchasing the LLC gives you ownership of the property, but it also opens you up to additional legal exposure since the entity has been active, and there is no way to really know for sure what else they used the LLC for.

Obviously, they have no intention of following the law & I wouldn't count on them to adhere to your lease provisions, either.Don't get me wrong - I love dogs & my pit (who went through the big doggie door in the sky many years ago) was the best dog, ever!

There’s no real reason to jump into another market unless your goals shift and your current market doesn’t fit anymore—or if the market itself stops producing the results you need.Mastering one market and squeezing every opportunity out of it is a much better play than spreading yourself too thin and getting half-baked results in multiple places.
