Not only do they not follow the rules... they do not know the rules... and probably do not know that it is a criminal offense to hold yourself out as a property manager if you are not properly licensed in Ohio.

Non curable violations are immediately evictable offenses.

No offense.

., no offense but nobody has the capital and team to take down a "larger multifamily" inside the loop everyday.

I don't have any training or really know how appraisals work I've just relied on 3 thingsUsing really good and conservative compsGoing through my properties thoroughly during rehabCHARM OFFENSIVE 

@Avery Goodman no offense to your attorney, but I might talk to someone else a bit more objective, make it clear you will not use their services only their advice and pay them for their time otherwise by the time you get 100 rentals you could be filing 50 different tax returns if each LLC owns only 2 SFRs.

A Real Estate attorney can facilitate transactions, but they probably won't help you with all the nitty gritty - either way you're going to pay for their time.I'm not trying to be a turd, so please don't take this as offensive - but you're probably missing a lot, and it sounds like you don't know what you don't know - and that's a really bad position to be in, especially in Real Estate.This is an expensive industry to be in and transactions always carry substantial liability.
