., to the best of my knowledge a Wyoming LLC can own property in any state, however the LLC must register as a foreign entity in that state. 

One year we appealed the assessmnet on 65 of our properties. 

3) Buy a few out of state properties directly through an agent and work with a property manager to manage them? 

Meaning they buy the property at once. 

Also make sure you are comfortable with some holding costs if the units don't get rented right away (if vacant).Also look into if there is rent control in the area that the property is located.

Buy and hold rental property.

Also make sure to have owners add you to their property insurance policies, so you have liability protection. 

How to do you first property?

None wanted to give me at least an estimate without architectural drawings, which I guess is understandable.
