I didn't see a need for a holding company but if someone wants one, you can just use another LLC as the holding company.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

You must have the intent to hold the relinquished property and the replacement property for rental, investment or business use. 

- properties going at a time as a sort of hedge against 1 contractor holding me back on 1 property rehab.

I want to be a investor buying and holding as well as fix an flips.

But make sure you make a file labeled "why I intended to hold this and what changed".

This would allow you to sell a property you had purchased with the intent of holding for productive investment use. 

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Jeffrey Eschbach: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

This is primarily why I plan to get a property in Old Town Alexandria whenever I can (THE HOMES HERE ARE EXPENSIVE) currently I do airbnb arbritage here and it does phenomenal, I read through your report which furthered my confidence in this area, and I'm excited to keep holding onto property here.

I want to know is it more cost effective or easier to purchase the property alone and put it in a mortgage in our name or purchase the LLC from him that holds the property within it.
