I will have to keep the water in my name but I was also just thinking of keeping the electric in my name as well since there is just one dryer and I don't want one of my tenants to have to pay for the other one's dryer usage. 

So my question is if i let the home air out well is it safe? 

We use Appfolio directly and it works well

I will be moving to Ohio from New York and this is my first investment property.I have located an attorney to work with, based out of Columbus, but I am looking for local support within the BP mafia as well.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Is there a time to "put lipstick on the pig" to separate your house from others to get better and more well off tenants or does it just not matter?

I have communicated with many people there that also self manage and do very well.

That would help qualify your tax home as well.

Their loan is through UWM and have confirmed that it may take closer to 45 days to close.Otherwise, the sale closes with the note as well as the deed in your company's name. 

Budget will be a big determining factor as well.
