I'm a well rounded individual and will do everything in my power to help you get what you want.

My LLC for PM would be taxed as a sole proprietorship unless I had other employees, which would equate to being considered just another source of regular income for me, meaning the $1000 I paid would be taxed at my individual income rate (25%) for a total of $250, meaning I would still only keep $7500.However, if I had more than just myself employed by the LLC and made less than $50k/year, I would only be taxed at 15% on the money I allocated for PM, or in this case, $150.

Worth looking into if it would be worth more as split lots sold individually.

I've asked a couple of friends that live in the area.  

Anand- a friend of mine is a mortgage broker with a lot of investor experience.

It is landlord-friendly, and specific pockets have gone upwards of 2-4x in the last 5-10 years.

Both the Columbus and Cleveland markets are great for investing in from out of state since they are landlord-friendly, and have a low barrier of entry and cash flow.

You have an investing group, which I assume means an LLP of some kind which means you are paying the self employment taxes etc because you are not an individual.

I look forward to connecting with like minded individuals. 

Connecting with like-minded individuals can be incredibly valuable as you navigate the world of real estate investing.
