., to the best of my knowledge a Wyoming LLC can own property in any state, however the LLC must register as a foreign entity in that state. 

One year we appealed the assessmnet on 65 of our properties. 

The “buyer beware” philosophy is fine for commercial transactions, but taking “advantage” of home owners when they’re most vulnerable and lack market sophistication is something no right thinking person wants.  

3) Buy a few out of state properties directly through an agent and work with a property manager to manage them? 

Meaning they buy the property at once. 

The companies that market themselves as "garage door companies" (residential) also almost always do commercial stuff as well, such as what you are looking at.

I have newer properties that spec builders just through up and have issues with. 

@Chris Seveney as a real estate broker, more than a 100 on residential side and ~30 on commercial.

Buy and hold rental property.

Also make sure to have owners add you to their property insurance policies, so you have liability protection.
