Hi @Aidan Jones congrats on getting things moving with your investing career. 

We moved out end of November.

With that being said, Columbus is one of the hottest markets in the US right now with some of the fastest population and job growth and companies moving and developing here.

Transfer Fees or Property Tax Reassessment Some states impose a transfer tax or reset the property tax basis when property ownership is moved into an LLC.

Move tenants in immediately and same tenants are still there.

You can also look in some of the smaller communities on the Western Slope once you move beyond the economic influence of the resorts.

Now I believe that I'm ready to make some moves. 

There's so much population, job growth, and companies moving and developing here (Intel, FB, Google, Microsoft, Honda, LG, Anduril, etc).

I am trying to hire a licensed REA for my LLC to perform occasional open houses and move-in/move-out inspections since I am out-of state from my rental property.I have the REA identified, now I just need to know the steps to creating a contract for them and me to sign.

I have seen all sides of this equation, self managing my own properties locally, but moved with the Navy 1000 miles away and managed the same rentals from afar, and had friends here in Memphis that had 18 properties and had them all with PMs with varying levels of success, some bad and some great.Self-managing brings about an additional level of responsibility that most of the time is fine, but that is not what you hire a PM for.
