I've purchased a few properties recently and have started the LLC process after the offer was accepted.

Keep in mind you’ll need a pile of cash (mostly to cover labor as your fill your home) to start the business or get a loan to start the business.

Some strategies are much easier than others, and it is much safer to start with these (househacking, buy and hold single families, etc..).

I would start by calling/emailing the different condo/townhouse associations.

The first of the 3 spaces I got leased thru the craigslist ad to a multi million dollar company.

We started out on Quickbooks but after we got our 2nd property and multiple LLCs it didn't work well for me.

The legitimacy of the contract probably only really matters if you have to go to court/arbitration to enforce it.That said, your title company would be a good place to start in terms of getting a legal review, I'm sure they have a real estate lawyer(s) on staff or retainer depending on the state.

Just started the Refi process and my lender sent the title search under my personal name and is starting the loan in my personal instead of LLC.

I recently started using rel.network.

I'd suggest preparing to start renting out your home in the Spring as the season picks back up again.
