If you switch to or stay with the custom tax settings, you'll need to update the amount of tax collected to 7.75% because the 9% city tax will be collected and remitted by law to the city on your behalf, but  the 6% state and 1.75% county tax will be collected and sent to you to remit to the state and via Avenu to the county. 

Curious why you want to focus on multi-state and not close to home?

I have a few properties in both Texas and Alabama states. 

Currently working with an out of state investor looking to do the same thing but invest in a nice STR out here. 

I know many investors go out of state for buy and hold properties to generate passive income, but is Blythe a lucrative market?

You also don't have to pay state tax on income. 

Also, I’m likely to invest out of state as California is too expensive.

I'm using a property management software (TurboTenant) for rental applications and screening reports, and they charge each prospective tenant $45 for this service.However, the Wisconsin State Legislature states that the landlord can only charge the actual cost of a credit report (up to $25).

Are you looking to invest in state or out of state?

Quote from @Michael Lam: Hi All, I'm an out of state investor looking to start a rental portfolio in the Cleveland area for small multi families (2-8 units).
