Go about this business with the intent of providing a service and helping people find a solution to their situation.

Hi @Tim Phillips I didn't find any Ohio limits on application fees here:http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/overview-la...I assume you are using an application first to screen potential applicants as you could have a statement on the application that there is a $35 nonrefundable fee even though you wouldn't be collecting that with the application.  

I'm wondering if you have any input to a service provider that can help with business entities as well as trust accounts and financial advisement.

Garbage service, once again, I require the tenant to pay this and make it mandatory, you don't want to pull up to a home and see the back porch filled with trash due to cheap tenants.

Thank you all for welcoming me, I look forward to listening to the pod cast to get more educated on what's new, what's old and what's works today, I know a lot has changed in the last 4-5 years, with the housing market, even in a good market for homebuyers, I need to be more sharp on what applications and techniques work, I also have a question is it better to be a realtor in the investing segment of real estate?

I have been imagining building my sales website (buyers guide, community pages, IDX integration, home valuation page, etc) on MyOhioProperty.com and then building Evolvedproperty.com to give details on our services including making cash offers on homes, renovations, and our homes for rent.
