I am a LA resident and love LA but do not mind relocating if I have to for better long term results.

OK, I'm a total newb, but I've been practicing running numbers.

The designation will keep you out of trouble in regards to doing unlawful practices.  

Account Closed Creating one (at least) LLC for your property is pretty common practice.

I like all of the above advice, particularly interning with a local investor, which will provide you with plenty of practical hand on experience.

I needs more practice.

My question is: I talked to an attorney in Ohio about doing a "subject-to" deal and was told A) There is no 'subject-to' in Ohio, B)It would have to be a land contract but the rules are different because of the exsisting mortgages and C) That I HAVE to use an attorney for EVERYTHING or risk getting in trouble for practicing real estate without a license.

Although I purchased his guide, I found it difficult to put into practice since some of his advice was outdated.

If so, practically zero upside there.

I'd also probably end up with a commercial loan rather than residential, might be hard convincing the bank that I intend to relocate to NH.
