Even if you form it in CT, you would still probably need to register it in Ohio, which sort of defeats the purpose.Nothing against LegalZoom, but you need to talk with an attorney and get some local advice.

@Daniel Reyes doesn't this defeat the purpose of an LLC. 

The same people feel defeated and disenfranchised that the system is rigged against the “ little guy” and it’s impossible to get ahead!

Hey Stephen,I appreciate your post, it is refreshing to see you sharing that so that others can learn.Reminds me of the Japanese proverb, "we learn little from victory, much from defeat."

By not having the property is transferred to your LLC, you are defeating the purpose of an LLC.

It defeats the purpose if it costs as much as a stick built home.I have know people who lived in Manhattan in 300 Sq Ft.  

So feeling defeated I called the investor and apologized and told him the news and he said it’s fine it happens all the time and not to worry he would handle the house part.

The odds of you keeping everything separate 100% of the time with that much juggling is basically zero, which defeats the purpose because the corporate veil is pierced anyway.

I was told that I could use 3.5% down on a SFH without my cosigner living there, but that kind of defeats the whole strategy.

And we know how to defeat them!
