IF you try manage it as a PM from out of state there's many chances you will get shafted by a contractor.

I specialize in out of state investors and have gotten a lot of interest for more properties but need boots on the ground to handle repairs.Please PM me with anyone you have worked with and would continue to use in the future.

However, if you are worried about being sued, you should use the best level of protection that you can afford.Your state laws: The laws governing asset protection vary from state to state.

Quote from @Tricia O'Brien: If you learn to use a search engine, you can find about anything.Go to Google, type in the name of the document/form you are looking for, and the state it applies to.

It may be worthwhile to get an attorney for you to also follow along and explain to you what is going on.What state is this in?

@Joe Rinellakeep in mind MA (all states) has a state specific tax code beyond the federal tax code.

I'm looking to invest in Ohio state. 

Sorry, this REIA was active for a while, but I moved out of state years ago. 

Are those state non disclosure by any chance?
