I know some good subs if you decide to start investing in the canton akron market I can refer.

The most under served part of the real estate property management field is the smaller under 4 unit buildings and you can use this part of the market place to build a portfolio of references.

I have seen some instances though where if you belong to a credit union or the area is more suburban to rural the big lenders won't lend there.In those cases the local banks who understand the small market and will take the risk are the best choice.

make sure your screen your tenant of choice, every expectation include it in your lease and do some research in your area.

If you're not licensed, it's probably illegal for an agent to refer you any part of their commission (I believe that's the case for most/all states).

For me the choice of getting an LLC was for 2 reasons...1) you do not have to fill out a Form 593-E, Real Estate Withholding – Computation of Estimated Gain or Lossat closing time.

The part of the equation that we don't have is the terms of the mortgage, if there are not too many years left of them based upon a low interest rate and there is equity in the property then it could be attractive from the scenario you reference of owning the properties with minimal money out of your own pocket and then trying to refinance once you've owned it a year to a mortgage with longer amoritization to increase your cash flow
