And, our governor just signed some major anti-squatting legislation.

@Juliette Olsen1) Start with generis state or RE Board lease and adapt as you learn from the school of hard knocks.2) You may need an attorney to review lease changes to make sure you don't violate any laws and the clause is enforceable.3) Given your lack of knowledge & that you are OOS, it may be wiser to hire a PMC4) PMC's have their own leases and most handymen.

I'm back in town this week I was checking on our deals in columbus. land cost is prohibitive in some ways but with the right group I think we could take down a good deal. there's some new legislation that is pushing density as well  which is favorable for land entitlement. thanks for commenting I'll follow up privately 

Legally, they may have the right to exercise the ""due on sale" clause, but I would review your mortgage, possible consult an attorney and/or your servicer to understand if they ever enforce this.Stepping back, putting title in an LLC may not provide as much protection as you think.

Changing jobs again in a few months for a law enforcement job, 75,000+ overtime.

However, if the police car was crashed while the officer was performing law enforcement duties the city and its police department are immune from liability in Ohio.
