As long as you screen right, you should have tenants that take care of your unit and pay on time every month.I can't speak on Berea at all, I'm unfamiliar.

This is broad advice though...my suggestion again is to speak with your agent about the specifics of the deal so they can guide you. 

I'd love to speak with you regarding multi family if you'd like some more information on the Phoenix markets.Feel free to message me on here and we can chat more.Thanks,Greg JungeWest USA Realty

I think it depends on location, quality of rehab work completed and if the home was properly remediate (TDI certificates, etc.) 

Buy quality not quantity.

You just need to be speaking with the right brokers. 

You can also speak to a CPA if you need to transfer funds from the LLC to your name.

We also work with quality painters - I could get their contact info for you if you are interested.

@Brandon LewisFor investment properties I look for several key indicators- Local businesses/restaurants/shopping centers near by- Easy access to public transportation- Proximity to local schools and the quality of those schools- Investment in the area (is the area being built up/commercialized?)

In most other states you would not also need an LLC where you live just because you lived there, but I can't speak for CA, they are cray cray.
