@Mike SchorahAs a person that is currently heavy into trying to find a property that fits the Brrrr standard in Ohio I am having a lot of trouble finding one, but I do come across a lot and I mean a lot of turnkey properties.

If you are going to live in the property, you should be able to get a standard loan and could qualify as a first time home buyer which would require a lower down payment.

Intern yourself.

Now if the furniture is in good condition or meets your brand standards is variable!

This is pretty basic international tax work, so it shouldn't be that hard to find someone who can handle it. 

Mini splits have been around a long time and with the newer tech they control temp and humidity very well and are also come in higher efficiency ratings than standard split systems.  

It’s just a standard in real estate that simply requires the seller to remove all personal belongings, nothing more.

This complex is mainly leased by international students.  

When it comes to choosing how to rehab a property for a rental it can be a mistake to use your own personal tastes and standards.

I also would caution you and your family to have a discussion about roles and compensation internally.
