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

Here’s what I do with my rentals:I either have tenants split the utility bills or include a clause in the lease that states if the gas or water bill exceeds a specific amount ($X), the tenant will be responsible for the overage, provided there are no leaks or other infrastructure issues contributing to the high usage.To determine this $X amount:Water: I take the highest water bill I’ve had over the past year (excluding periods where leaks occurred) and add about $15 to account for small fluctuations or potential increases.Gas: For gas, I calculate the median bill during the winter (when usage is highest) and the median bill in the summer (when usage is typically lowest).

Insurance, bank accounts, credit cards, etc.You are probably making your life more complicated and expensive than it needs to be.

It’s great to see your post, sounds like you’re deeply involved in the real estate investing world with a range of strategies.

I'm talking to the seller's broker, but I would like to find my own people to assist with the due diligence period, such as an SBA loan broker, an accountant with experience doing QoE for this kind of transaction, and a lawyer.

As a new real estate agent in Northern Virginia, I'm trying to make these connections, but my immediate thoughts and attemps just involve messaging these business and informing them I'm an agent and that if the respective family is in need of a realtor I'd be happy to work w/ them, but every time I do that, the response I get is "we already have a realtor" or "house was already sold or listed"........and a lot of times I am refresh to the post, so obviously I want to be "there" sooner so I can get the seller listing lead.

@Dean GulloTo build connections in Southington and surrounding areas, join local real estate meetups, connect through BiggerPockets forums, get involved with local landlord associations, reach out to real estate professionals, attend town or community events, and expand your team.

I think at least 2-3 post was from a VA that opened an account to  post in this exact thread……but hey this is a thread  about VA services.

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.
