If you can't treat this like a business and get rid of bad renters, then I recommend you hire someone to do it for you. 

I would get the list of owners from a local title rep you use, then take that to the local printing shop (all-in-one).

I'm the opposite....I jut plow ahead and get myself into trouble :-)My business strategy is 'paint yourself into a corner and figure a way out'.

I just personally do not think that is a good way to do business.

They give you discounts on West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc and a membership is free if you have a business.  

That is cool, but for those running a business at any level of scale, not of any significant importance.

I see many first time investors make the mistake of buying in a college town, but not where the students want to live.Business Sprints - You work like a lion in this business.

If your LLC is not doing business in MN, then it would seem to make sense to register it in CA to avoid the need to pay registration fees in 2 states, if you can avoid MN filing fees and requirements. 

My business partner and I are considering starting a real estate consulting practice where we would advise buyers, sellers and investors on the buying and selling process.

I assume, I will have to open business accounts and use those to manage my business expenses and business earnings etc.
