Can I operate totally independent of her, and if so, does that mean she can't be listed on any title?

My goal is to move to Cincinnati in the spring of next year, where I'll be operating a small contracting company with a partner.

Many times it may make sense to have two LLCs for asset protection reasons: 1 as a Holdings LLC that owns the assets, and another Operations LLC that takes possession of but not title to the assets and operates them. 

I would say the key is to set up the team in the city you are going to be operating in.

Most people can't do all of these things well right off the bat.If you can become an expert in one helpful area and then partner with an existing operator you will benefit twice - once from your deep knowledge of a certain aspect of the business, and again from working with an operator who as already made the rookie mistakes.  

My goal is to build $10,000,000 portfolio of turn key, high cash flow businesses operating out of their own commercial real estate over the next 3 years.I have joined to network with like minded investors who are interested in joint venture opportunities.I look forward to hearing from you!

The corporate structure and operations have become the biggest obstacle I face today.I operate in Southern California and would like a referral to, or leadership from a seasoned pro.  

It had been used by her husband who operated several businesses .

All of those do apply here.Additionally, becoming a property owner by way of foreclosure sale and sheriff deed or certificate of title is an operation of law.
