Use Zillow and search specifically using Foreclosure or Pre-Foreclosure, actually drive the neighborhoods and look for homes that appear to be vacant/have overgrown grass, homes that look Leila they haven’t been maintained.

As a new investor, what are some actionable things that I can do today to get me closer to acquiring my first property?

I have a very large lot, 22,000 ft, with both grass and a lot of gardens. 22 zones.

Actuals would be closer to 8% and 5% of gross rent respectively. 

If you want a closer outline, of what I do give me a message. 

My guess is that whatever your stated goal, forming the LLC in NV doesn't get you any closer to it than you could get by using a knowledgeable professional to form the LLC in Ohio.

Upon a closer look at these deals, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that 90% of purchase price is about the same as 60%-65% of ARV...there might not be the difference between purchase lenders and ARV lenders as one might think.

I would like to have my next property be closer to the $1000/mo range in order to diversify my renters.

Expense ratios on the home rent portion are closer to 100% than you might think.
