Hi Lyndsey,There are no laws in Ohio regarding application fees (standard I am not a lawyer disclaimer and this is not legal advice.)

Hey Scott, I don't specifically know the Seattle market but will assume like most metro areas it will be similar to where I live in San Diego.Most major metros like that you will not be able to effectively cash flow.

I think that the core strategy for setting up my financial house involves establishing relationships with three key people: (1) an estate/tax attorney, (2) a financial planner, and (3) a CPA.My intuition is that I should probably talk to those three in that order (lawyer, CFP, CPA).

We have used a normal LLC for our residential business and a separate one for our multifamily projects.But dont just take my word for it, spend the $$ and sit down with a lawyer in the DFW area.

My 2nd mentor was a doorknocker and I'm really shy (initially) so I dreaded doorknocking but it is a very effective method.I've seen others try to develop good training programs b/c they were so frustrated with what was out so I wish you good luck!

Direct Mail takes a while and needs frequency (e.g. one 5000 run is less effective than 8 x 500 runs) Selling Rent to OwnYou need to show the Owner that the costs to sell will net them 80 - 85% of appraisal.

For latecomers, it is very quick, fun, and cost effective to go door to door with a small cooler handing out ice cream or fruit bars.

I'm not doing the work, but want to be able to vet contractors effectively.
