You don't necessarily have to have one, but I would recommend the properties be in separate LLCs or separate childs series of a series LLC or DST) to minimize liability.

I would also advise you to look for a newer build to minimize maintenance costs and avoid hidden surprises and the initial rehab work.

Does anyone know of a residential mortgage lender based in Ohio that can do a delayed financing exception FNMA loan? 

We constantly worry about theft when staying in a hotel.Our issues have been extremely minimal:1.

Start analyzing properties in the market you are moving to that way when you are ready to buy you'll know if the property is a good deal or not without delay.

I don't work on conventional owner occupied loans anymore (non fannie/freddie investment only for me) but I do know that the lenders those brokers are subbing them to have incentives to have loans close, have minimal underwriting touches, etc etc and having the borrower walk away after going through underwriting could have a potential negative impact on them (in the form of basic lender "brownie points" given to brokers) in addition to the obvious opportunity cost thrown away from time spent. 

Or do you want autopilot checks coming in with minimal bills to pay?

It was my first property so my lease is very minimal and does not say anything about washer and dryer.

I am curious on how to most efficiently make connections internationally, find the benefits to different tax laws, and ultimately wonder how people start off building global portfolios while minimizing their risk.Any insight into the matter helps!
