I'm currently out of state so I find it very convenient for me to be able to put the service request in online immediately after my tenant reports an issue, and they arrange for a reputable local company that they have a contract with to come out and assess the issue.

If you have a portal or on line file with credit data in it you need to make sure you stay in control of it and it doesn't get sent all over the web.   

Many counties have the municode online, e.g. https://www.municode.com/ 

We are in our research phase, so we're doing lots of reading, listening to podcasts (that's how I found you guys), looking at real estate online, etc. 

I'm a bit open as to where to invest / move to because I work online but so far have been looking at the Seattle area and Austin, TX markets. 

Good morningHas anyone come across any books, online material, etc that has been a help to understanding the numbers of real estate deals?...

I was reading my local online newspaper in my home city this morning and came across something.

@Micah AinsworthGeneric online forms are seldom an investor's best friend. 

However, when I searched online for "Operating Agreement," "Operating Agreement for Real Estate," etc., all I came up with were Operating Agreements detailing the structures of LLCs, and other agreements involving the trucking industry........not relevant stuff.  

@Blake BroomerWelcome fellow Pennsylvanian.It also depends on what activity that you are doing, flipping, buy and hold, rehabs, wholesale, commercial, development, etc.There are tax implications, as well as liability issues, and anonymity also.The PA Dept of State has an online file that you can check to see if the proposed name is in use.In most cases I'd recommend that the entity name not contain either you first or sur names.In any event, the best advise would be to contact a PA attorney to help decide the type of entity, your planned work and possible other parties involved.
