Its good to hear you eventually got paid your policy limits without having to engage a PA or Attorney.Its completely normal for your loss to be payable to your mortgage company as well as yourself - the mortgage companies require that the policy include that provision.

How hard is it to invest in Ohio, - Youngstown or Boardman as a PA resident?

Are you presenting this offer via a LOI or a PA? 

At this point I just leaning towards finding a PA specific lease online.

I currently work full time as a PA in the Emergency Room.

Why limit yourself to nurses if there is another niche market that has more opportunities.https://seks.craigslist.org/apa/d/coffeyville-refi...

So you're saying that it's essentially impossible to obtain marketable title from a PA tax deed sale without a QTA?

Then you have to pay corporate stock tax on top of all that (a PA law, maybe others).I've also heard own the properties in your own name and set up a C Corp to lease the properties to and have it manage them for you.Just get an Umbrella policy.Trust Deed them to someone you really trust (who's not family) and set it up so they can do nothing with the property with out your permission.Ugh... the list goes on and onWhat have you done to protect your assets?

You can do it yourself, is a pas through entity like a Sub-s corp for tax purposes and is easy to run unlike a c corp.

I have a PA for $13,800...but the hard money lender wants to see 65% LTV....i never thought it would appraise at $15k...i was assuming 30-60k...its assesed at 60k
