I believe it costs about $80 to set up an LLC in Arizona, and I’ve set up 5+ myself with no issues.For accounting I use Excel for long-term rentals as expenses/incomes are the same every month (I just add an extra line item in case of extra expenses like repairs) and Wave Accounting for short-term rentals (it’s free and integrates to bank accounts!).

@Marcus Maloney Excellent and excellent deal.

@Natasha Nam, excellent question!

It is just a table I create in Excel with what is due when.

Mario, this is an excellent checklist!

As someone else just said, photos need to be excellent and staging is not a bad idea.

It's that exact lack of education that makes me feel like an unethical jackass doing this- I mean I've "faked it til I made it" in other industries and excelled over time but it feels different when you are dealing with people making major life decisions and who are looking to me as a solution provider.

There are hurdles searching through the secretary of state to find members of the LLC--from there I pull up their numbers using truepeoplesearch.com and add it to the excel sheet alongside their street or mailing address and email if it's available.

LTV list...or one depending on the sellers age..... make sure you get it in an Excel file.The reason for the Excel file is.... if you want to do a mail merge, you can take it to a printing company and they can use that file for the mail merge. 

I have excellent credit, has down payment, currently have two personal mortgage, one SFH rental. but no big commercial deal experience.I am also looking for good a attorney and CPA in Jacksonville FL.
