His "team" has attempted to buy a couple of my properties in Cleveland, Ohio using a dead LLC. 

I’m a 22 year old firefighter that’s looking to own a couple of rental properties.

I’ve tried a couple different things to move it along.

Im working on a couple of pre listings. 

So there are a couple of things to think about here:1.

I'd personally sell the townhouse (doesn't sound like it cashflows or would make a good rental property) - you may have no capital gains if you have lived in it the past 2 out of 5 years - I believe the first 250k for single filers is exempt from taxes and the first 500k for married couples.

At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

I have integrated a couple of other platforms and had to do the exact same steps when it came to being able to receive payments online.

If you are single or a couple on the same page about house hacking, look for uneven multis.
