Looking for Ohio Recommendations for LLC Setup (Attorney or Service)

Hey everyone,

I’m an out-of-state investor getting ready to buy my first property in Ohio, and I need to set up an Ohio LLC. Before I move forward, I wanted to see if anyone here has recommendations for a solid attorney, CPA, or formation service in Ohio who can help me get it done correctly (operating agreement, structure advice, etc). I’d prefer someone investor-friendly who understands rental properties, DSCR loans, and how to structure ownership as I plan to grow my portfolio. If anyone has someone they trust or if you’re a professional who offers this please drop their info or DM me. Thanks

    I can recommend you to my attorney who does all of mine and over 50+ of my clients LLC. She sets up my private money documents, llc for local and international clients. Feel free to pm me.

    @Matheus Souza, hi. Great that you are getting this set upbefore you close, fixing structure later is always more painful. For an Ohio rental LLC, you'll want someone who can (1) coordinate the LLC with your DSCR lender's requirements, (2) draft an operating agreement that anticipates future partners/entities, and (3) think through multi-state tax filings as your portfolio grows. I'm a CPA who works with out-of-state investors buying in the Midwest and can share a simple checklist of questions to ask any attorney/CPA or formation service you interview so you don't end up with a "cookie cutter" setup.

    Why are you setting up a separate LLC in Ohio?
