@Gene BattleCheck with your accountant for a recommendation or ask for recommendations from your local real estate investors association.

Another rule is that you can't get posession of the net proceeds which must be held by an intermediary, who is not related to you, not your attorney, not your accountant, and not a business associate of yours.I talked about Section 1031 on Bigger Pockets Podcast #82  

Reach out to a few and see who you like.You can also ask members of your local real estate investors association for real estate accountant recommendations.Good luck.

@Hai Loc, yes you can evict in Columbus but just FYI, make sure in addition to the cost of the eviction court and attorney, you include up to 2-3 months of non-payment and the costs associated with the rent ready rehabs of the unit afterwards in your calculations. 

While I only have good things to say about him, I don't want his name showing up in a negative light being associated with this post. 

Another great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

(I bought it for the land with intentions of removing the trailer and building tiny homes on it to air bnb) I understood that I was responsible for any back bills or liens associated with the properties, I was ok with that.

We can check the condo and the entire association for things like litigation, under duress, issues with HOA or reserve accounts.

They might look at the LLC mailing address to associate it with a person, but you could always use a Registered Agent and the address would be different.

You’ll definitely want to dig into the zoning and permit requirements for your area to get a clear picture of what's allowed and what the associated costs might be.Also, don’t forget to factor in things like parking and whether you’d need to add a kitchenette to make it a viable short-term rental (STR).
