While I can't definitively say which are the absolute top 5 zip codes in Columbus, I can help you narrow your search for Class A neighborhoods that offer a good balance of rental cash flow, low vacancy rates, safety, and strong school systems.Some promising areas to consider based on general market research include New Albany (43064), known for excellent schools, safety, and strong rental demand, although cash flow might be lower due to higher property values.

I am currently focused on tax strategies for our LLC (partnership with spouse).Can we sign a lease agreement with our LLC to provide/pay rent for use of our personal home/property, to include a portion of utilities, HOA, and insurance?

And we have "Property Rules" which are an addendum to the rental agreement and something a judge has never had an interest in reading since all of our evictions (only 3 in 20 years) were for non-payment of rent and not only for breaking our property rules.I posted our Property Rules in the BP File Place in 2014.

Our shorte(er) list includes Phoenix, LAs Vegas, Nashville, Atlanta, and Texas (Austin,Houston, San Antonio).
