Personally, I dont get the "BEWARE of KATRINA" sentiment that's out there.Hurricanes happen.

Did you use your LLC or apply for a permit using your personal information? 

Go someplace with live in person training. 

Put together a team with a real estate person, someone to look after your property, loan officers, builders, and bookkeepers.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

We personally pull our specific criteria lists for residential tear downs for development from Remine and Realist (We have access to both as licensed realtors in NJ for free).

Specifically, how to go about managing unrelated persons living together per county or city ordinance and lease structure. 

I had a person quote me $1800 for a drywall patch.

Fresh paint and new entry doors finished the house off and had it ready to rent inside 30 days.

. #2 because most property managers are too overwhelmed with the volume of units they manage to give you personalized, meaningful service.
