I've had a few Ohio title companies point this out with files as well requiring the entity vested on title to either be registered as a foreign entity or a domestic entity with the Ohio Secretary of State.  

With fresh paint throughout inside and out, brand-new roof, dual HVAC systems, updated water heater, stainless steel appliances, lighting fixtures, outlets, countertops, and PEX plumbing just to name a few.

You mentioned a career change, I think going into the trades like plumbing and electrical are great and you can make good money doing those, but I think you may be taking on too much by trying to do that right now.

I told them I would consider it as I'm hesitant about having this "contractor" do any plumbing on my property.

The paint is chipped so I'm assuming there's lead paint and there will likely be asbestos and lead pipes for plumbing.

Look for homes with updated systems—new plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and windows are essential for long-term value and tenant satisfaction.

But there are things you need to consider, like: everyone has to follow house rules to avoid drama, excessive use of kitchen and bathrooms leading to plumbing issues, being on call 24/7 with any problems, etc.

I am getting a lumpsum estimate for things like electrical, plumbing, but I am not sure what the cost is for. 

Could you have the house rewired and plumbed by the world's slowest plumber and electrician?

I got it into contract and then had a huge plumbing failure during the home inspection.
