Scott,I'm answering this from a consultant/independent contractor point of view since I have not yet invested in real estate, but using legalzoom or nolo is perfectly fine to get the LLC formed, IMHO.The big factors for the LLC you'll need to decide are:- What state to register in (some people choose Delaware or Nevada for favorable business laws)- Who to use as a registered agent (basically the person that collects legal papers)If you plan on simply investing within your state of residence for now, I'd suggest on forming the LLC within that state using Legalzoom or even through the state's secretary website (if available), and then list yourself as the registered agent.

If it can be proven that you knew someone was dealing drugs out of your property but choose not to do anything because you get paid on time every time, say you could actually have the property confiscated by the government.

Each vehicle as its own determination, but once you choose actual expenses, you must stick with it.

If it is found to be in satisfactory condition, or if it is damaged due to neglect or misuse of the resident, we might choose to withhold an upgrade.

I'm much more careful about choosing tenants now, but I do feel like I was lucky that she just agreed to go so I was only out about 3 weeks' rent.

Whatever area I choose, I am planning to be a buy-and-hold investor.

Propert Management I checked with the company, there's a discount involved because of the size (and because of me).As for the television & phone utility cost, that's entirely for the telecom company and the tenants can choose their own service provider.

The podcasts are a good place to start, pick and choose the ones of interest and the library of informatin in the learn section is excellent.

:) Kidding aside, the property manager is the key person who will make or break your out-of-state investment so choose carefully.

Then you can choose what is best for you.
