Accordingly, I don't utilize LLCs, and for me I have concluded they really weren't necessary to begin with (just a lot of extra costs and headaches).

@Ericka Grant , the problem I have with upsizing is that many people do it as soon as they get an extra dime in their pocket. 

Fancy smancy this and that on the presentation and extras can help you get more clients, but that doesn't help you close the deal.

Before I even go look at a building I am on this website to check out the building and its history of permits or violations etc.  

Plus, no need to pay for an extra few months if you’re rehabbing, etc.

For a little extra money you get peace of mind.

like I said this deal isnt really making me money it gives me a small extra amount I plan to keep in savings for cap ex etc. although the house shouldnt need anything anytime soon. 

I am sure there are cookie cutter agreements for these things and that I just may be extra paranoid about ensuring that everything is safe for me.

Or maybe someone trustworthy looking for a little extra cash...I found a maid service online that will only do it Monday - Friday and charges $170 - but that's for a thorough full house clean and I don't need that much.Any info helps!

Also, in Ohio, any residential lease of 2 years or longer must be recorded with the county - an extra PITA factor that isn't necessary with a shorter lease term.3.
