It seems like everyone focuses on choosing certain states based on rental laws and fees and fails to mention the the primary LLC should be in the state where the property is- in which case the the other state options are not helpful.The wyoming legal office did offer to set up a parent company under which my other LLCs be owned-- which I understand that concept.Thanks again!

However, this will be the first one that I will be managing. 

Furthermore, I will throw free highspeed internet, which I have lying around for my various security cameras (mainly for me so I can see if it snows or whatever).I manage it with my wife.

If you want to deduct money for cleaning, hire a cleaning company (which I know you said you don't want to do). 

Keeping it close to home in Maine would make management easier, especially if you're hands-on.

@Deanne Castro We actually own a duplex in the Springfield neighborhood and through our PM business we manage several other properties in the Springfield neighborhood.

At the guidance of the comments here, I have talked with the Condo Manager and Tenant.  

Only difference in the last few years is I have a virtual bookkeeping company and a property manager.

We plan to put down 25-30%, and manage it as a midterm rental.

This is great for them, but they aren't really good at management.
