You didn't tell us where you are located so it is hard to tell if you should try and find another place or not.If the folks are just willing to rent, then finding them a nice rental seems to be in order.

but keep in mind CA has higher taxes and reg fees and I’m not doing more than 1-2 flips (short timeframe flips)  a year and many years do 0 flipsDo most flippers put flips into LLC Or in personal name (sole proprietor)  in CA (where you must pay $800 yearly plus accounting and other fees $300to $600+ yearly to maintain LLC) Pros for personal name-save on taxes accounting.

I saw one post where someone mentioned using AppFolio’s bulk upload with a custom spreadsheet, but I imagine there are a lot of different ways people do this.I feel like I might be overcomplicating things, so I’d love to hear how others handle it.

Once you go above $125k/unit you start to get into the high end areas that won't have very good rent/price ratios and are under the 1% rule mark for turnkey stuff.Neighborhood wise in the city the "East End" is where the most expensive real estate is since that's where the universities and a lot of the hospitals are located.

I know where I am going to hang my license as long as my application is accepted and am excited to become a local real estate agent.

would you still create the single LLCs in OH (the state where the flip is in) or open one in my state of residence and JV with the local LLC ?  

Too many investors dive in without thoroughly vetting their team, and that’s where things can go sideways.

Exposed wire are a safety hazard and if they where missed by inspection  you may be able to complain as well.

Check out time, where to take trash on Tuesdays, things like that.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?
