Thank you so much for the encouragement.

Hello Julia, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond as well as the words of encouragement and advice! 

I encourage you to take a look at out pages, reviews and feedback from other owners posted online.

AirBNB is a platform you list your STRs on.I didn't get that you want zero income like @Bill B. mentioned but it should be pretty easy to to get this rolling.

If you don't want to use an attorney, you can make an LLC through the secretary of state website https://www.ohiosos.gov/businesses/information-on-starting-a... or other software platforms like zen business and rocket lawyer. 

Additionally, it encourages tenants to report any concerns early on, fostering a proactive approach to property management.
