@Jackie Linne - SM LLCs will report directly on your personal return, some states have additional filings and fees you should look into.

I've recorded a few (in the Bosie, ID area) that I would like to reach out to via direct mail.

I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team, property manager.

I contacted our insurance company to ask about an umbrella policy however he said you cannot get an umbrella policy if the house is in a trust.

Quote from @Mike Hern: You are thinking in the right direction but you need a guide to do the first few with you.

The best way to go is off-market or direct to seller.

I feel as though I am "reinventing the wheel" when it comes to figuring out things when instead I could be in contact with people who have gone through all that I have and could give me insight on my situation. 

Obviously it helps to have help but for a prize of $25k its not worth it.I’ve been contacted by several investors who have bought into the “community.”

You can run your numbers and try to find/contact the owner(s).You can work to get the property under contract without a real estate agent unless you want to exclude yourself from the headache of paperwork.

Can you or a Property Manager which services those areas reach out to me regarding the direction of rental demand?
