Do they value nicer finishes and design or is that additional cost lost on the typical tenant in that pocket?

.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.

After some additional research we have decided to focus on the aforementioned markets, but I will keep you in mind if we decide to look at Columbus more closely in the future. 

Any additional input would be great.

You would also want to add the LLC entity as an "Additional Insured" party onto the landlord insurance for the property.

Additionally, where do you research if an area has a good rental pool? 

Additionally, the replacement property must be real estate to qualify under IRS rules.

You may also need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of income and employment, and may need to have a co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.In terms of buying with an LLC, it can be a good option for some foreign buyers, as it can provide additional liability protection and potentially offer tax benefits.

Additionally, would love to hear how others manage multiple listings with the help of others.
