@Scott Mac Why would a separate LLC that serves as a management company provide greater protections or shield personal assets?

In my District, the court serves the tenants a Summons for the court hearing and I get a copy as evidence.

I currently have 20+ units that serve short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and would ideally like to invest in IL since my family is still there and can serve as a home base for whenever I need to be in the area, but with IL property taxes being as high as they are I'm also scoping other markets in nearby states.Does anyone have any general advice for buying / investing long distance?

I have found a market that serves some of the needs I want and have already built somewhat of a network there.

Learning sales and getting started in business is what I want at this very moment and I believe Primerica will serve its purpose.

I’d at l ast start serving the 3 day notice to quit or whatever paperwork is required in your state.
