@Shaun Palmer, if you're just starting out, I think a Domestic North Carolina LLC will be fine.

If anyone can provide me with a brief summary of the case types it would be helpful.1) Domestic relations custody support and parenting time2) Domestic relations3) Domestic relations/other4) Equity  partition5) Equity complaint6) Equity Petition7) Estates and Administration8) Guardianship managed9) Joint petition10) paternity managed11) paternity in equity12) probate abuse / conservator managed13) probate other14) Wills for safekeepingGranted I know most of these probably do not pertain to real property, however what underlying situations would warrant the filing of these different cases?

I've spoken to several lawyers and decided it was best for me to have a domestic LLC in the state of each rental property and foreign register it with CA.

Many pest problems are caused by lifestyle, like dirty floors or leaving pet food out.

I change the locks right after previous tenant moves out or at the time of the eviction as instructed by the Sherriff in my area.1 - completed & signed rental application2 - all supporting documents have been submitted by the prospective tenant - copies of the following-photo id, proof of income, social security cards for anyone over 18 who will be occupying the property3 - Deposit received - at least security deposit with default noticeThe documents I have prepared upon move in- balance of funds required to get keys and sign the lease- rental package revised and completed for prospective tenant & myself to review together & sign which included lease, deposit receipt, tenant behavioral policy, move out instructions, notice to all tenants -that is a form I created which advises the tenants on grass cutting , possible liens/notices/fines from the city, what not to flush or put into the sinks (feminine products, cooking oil -used or unused), pet addendum if applicable

Tanya,If I were to do anything in that situation, I would probably try to use the heat from the heat pump when it was in air conditioning mode to heat my domestic hot water as I did in FL 20 years ago.  

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I'm also a lead GP in a 32-unit multifamily syndication in South Carolina.From my perspective, the main consideration for investing alongside a foreign partner is that the domestic partner would need to sign for financing.

I’ve always had excessive damage problems with people who have pets or use hookahs / smoke.
