Troy,In addition to what Melanie listed I would add, you need to find out about the local, state, or federal guidelines (if any) that impact the setup of the property.  

Have you instead considered attending a local real estate meetup and asking for connections/opinions in that avenue? 

I worked with local investors to buy, rehab, and lease or sell over 400 units. 

I'm local to downtown Charleston.

Be prepared to provide evidence supporting your arguments and respond to any questions from the assessor or assessment appeals board.Stay Informed about Local Tax Policies: Keep abreast of local tax policies, assessment methodologies, and any changes to property tax laws or regulations that may affect your property's valuation.

You can also contact local Realtors for assistance; for example, here in Charlotte, I work with clients who are not ready to buy or rent.

They were able to deliver my washer/dryer no problem.What you can do is check with Lowe's or another local stores and tell them your issues.

@Nathaniel LinnIn order to invest in real estate, start connecting with local agents, property managers and lenders in Ohio.

I know a local PM company here charges $7 per property per day=$210/mo for basically the same service.

Fly out there, drive the streets, meet with potential team members, talk with local investors, etc. - Not to mention you'll avoid the headaches of California Tenant friendly laws!
