Erica Naveja I'm no expert in the region, but I can tell you I recently looked at a few vacation/weekend homes in Hawley, Greentown, and Jim Thorpe.

In Cuyahoga County you have to take a landlord class to get certified.

However, the good home inspector may recommend you bring in experts to further analyze potential issues identified such as a foundation contractor, roofer, electrician, etc.I have a good one (not the cheapest) but I am unsure if he goes all the way to Oceanside. 

I am far from an expert but I would be glad to share what I have learned along the way thus far. 

I'll leave the REI questions to the experts here, but just be aware of what you're getting into.

Thanks everyone for your expert advice.

@Dion DePaoli@Don Konipol   Tagging the two note experts I follow on BP.I have now heard this 4 different times from lenders that approach me on BP looking for investor capital to fund their deals..

And study and become an expert in your market and know your sh*t inside & out when it comes to contracts, valuations, rehab's, etc. 

I'm gonna really be doing my due diligence to make sure were ready to offer top notch service to any clients we work with, but just want to speed up the learning curve as much as possible with any expert guidance.God Bless!

I would open it in NV as that gives you the best protection in the country.With the new tax laws you will also have some other benefits as the owner of an LLC that a tax expert can explain to you.
