This comes from me using them frequently and my knowledge of what I want.

I've had some extremely good luck in PA, and have been frequenting that area since.

I am not an agent, but I noticed that the most effective agent I ever worked with was able to get frequently the most aggressive listings within comps and therefore they sold very quickly.

I don't intend to imply that I clearly understand all the LLC/taxes rules but I have learned that if you are frequently transferring money from your personal funds to the business and back that can be considered comingling of funds and can lead to a judge or the IRS determining that your LLC is just a front and that you really have no business and loose any tax and/or liability protection provided by your LLC.Every time you contribute money to your business it must be properly recorded and documented.

In the Ogden area you can definitely get to 1% or more in monthly rents but you can get in trouble with really old homes that become money pits or really rough neighborhoods that are high crime and attract low-quality tenants (drugs, late payments, frequent turnover).That said, I do know some investors that love the North Ogden area, Roy and Centerville for lower-end flips and long-term rentals. 

In addition, the appliances rarely get used as guests frequently eat out, and don't do laundry at the property.I pay market rate for all of my properties and agree with @Michael McKay, my landlords are all very happy with the deal.
