@Timothy Eaton I have created an initial application that has basic information on it like name of all tenants applying, address, make and model of any vehicles, previous landlords, personal references, and I ask what types of debt they currently have and any pets.

I'm leaning towards Philadelphia because I personally find the area more interesting, and it seems like a more international city. 

You can edit and personalize the books as much as you like, then print the book at Staples or another similar store.

I would personally use the money for exterior repairs and see what they say/do.

Could you hold a 2, 3 or 4-plex in an LLC, live in one and still sell the entire building as a personal property sale after 24 months (no cap gains tax)?

This is a truly personal decision with serious implications you should consult several professionals before you make a move.Concentration is amazing when it works; what is your edge? 

What I’ve shared is based on research and data collected so would love to know what you’re seeing personally and how it could differ!

Hi Ryan, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

Condotels are also harder to finance, and therefore will be harder to sell to the next person when you want to do that.
