I've have my agent make sure each property allows STR.

I am setting up an LLC to buy rental property and one member of the LLC will be a new real estate agent. 

I have used a basic registered agent service and set up an LLC.

My agent is saying they can wrap an excess liability around my STR policy to up the liability coverages.  

Find a local multi-family property that is offering seller-financing, use an agent for this as its complicated and you don't want to get screwedWith seller financing you don't have to qualify with income and can likely get a better interest rateMake your balloon is above 5 years, make sure you are cashflowing in the deal, and try and sell in a couple years for a huge profitYou won't be able to replace your w-2, but you'll get started down the path of replacing your w-2!

Also looking to make referrals with real estate agent and making sure your clients are well represented.

Go to some networking events in both areas, get on some wholesaler buyers lists, and have an agent set you up with an automated search on the MLS so you can start to follow trends both on and off market. 

You will also need a registered agent who lives in Ohio.

I am looking to connect with fellow agents, lenders, real estate lawyers, inspectors, title officers, appraisers, and contractors in the area. 

Septic tanks are rated for the number of bedrooms in a house not the number of bathrooms and kitchens.As a real estate agent, I think the indoor laundry room would sell better than the laundry hookups in the garage and a really small extra room in the house.
