I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is).  Anybody ...

It is my understanding that I could form the LLC in my state and apply for a certificate to operate in the state where the rental is.  

If you owned the local grocery story, you wouldn't apply their grocery bill to their rent payment.

We have cash in available however I'm seeing that when applying for a HML you need proof of liquidity.

Prospective tenant views apartment and decides if they want to apply.3.

A large percentage of these folks will apply elsewhere if that is clear in the listing. - Even with this caveat, some tenants will attempt to go to the property.

I'm in Columbus Ohio. this mostly applies to 2-4 units used as Airbnb properties within 2 miles of urban core 

My wife and I have used both Zillow and Apartments.com to have candidates apply. 

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

If they have nothing to lose, more unqualified people will apply.
