I need some advice on the following situation.I am sorry for asking such a basic question, but unfortunately, I am still new to this and never dealt with this type of scenario before.I have a single family home that is part of an HOA.My main goal is to protect the asset and avoid any potential financial loss as much as possible.The current lease agreement states that the tenants are responsible for mowing the grass.They are also responsible for paying any HOA fines, etcUnfortunately after multiple attempts to get through to them to cut the grass, the grass was never cut and the yard is getting worst and worst.They also refuse to turn on the sprinkler system which is causing the grass to slowly die.

So as others have stated experience is definitely a key factor but I feel like across all of these experiences there are a number of inefficiencies at play.However the fact that no investors have responded to my post indicates perhaps I've just had really bad luck.

You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State's website for all to see.

As you stated - it's one of the most expensive. 

What State are you in?

Ohio is a landlord friendly state. 

One of the most important roles your PM company provides is knowledge on the legal side of leasing at a national, state and local level.

To state RE investing is a good investment or bad without analyzing the underwriting is not possible.  

There is the same weekly questions over and over - ah almost forgot the ohio crew (little gang of realtors from Ohio pushing their narrative - I'm sure some have success but I have heard just as many if not more horror stories from the area, especially out of state investors who invest in Ohio). 

Lastly, as everyone already stated, Zillow and Redfin will be a big help in getting some information that will be valuable to your search.
