I'm currently looking to start my own business with my LLC to manage property for other investors. 

Just look at how busy a Home Depot is , do you thing everyone is pulling a permit ? 

You don't need a license, but like any other business, you would work with someone who is experienced. 

Goosehead is a independent agent business.

I am a 50% member in a Parent LLC that owns other LLCs, used for specific purposes such as other businesses or real estate holdings.

I can tell you to qualify for a hard money loan, which is a business-purpose loan (so this would be for investment properties, not a primary residence).

For private money (friend, family, etc)In the end, it's whatever the partner will agree to.

Quick question...I am Ohio and connecting with private lenders to assist me in funding my next deal.If the purchase and transaction is with a real estate agent and you have a private lender for your loan, is that considered a "cash" purchase in terms of the real estate contract and telling the seller, or is that still considered financing?  

Happy to discuss renovating apartments as I have learned a lot over the years in this business.

If you're looking for hard/private money I can tell you that most lenders would want to be at least in driving distance of the property if anything were to come up.
