Thank you kindly for your response, @Logan Allec! That is what I suspected. Isn't California the best?

Greetings BP friends,

My sister and I want to set up an LLC for liability protection. We live in California but want to invest in Ohio. We heard generally that Wyoming is the best place to register the LLC for the best protection from a Clayton Morris podcast. I chatted with another attorney that says we would want to set up the LLC in Ohio where the property is located. Any advice?

Thanks @Kevin Hoag! I’m thinking I want to start with a duplex or triplex.

Welcome. As a CPA, should especially appreciate local tax laws in your target market. Since you mentioned Cleveland, here is an important site for you (perhaps you were already aware of it):

I do not know whether the other Ohio markets may have something similar. I have seen the list of jurisdictions under RITA expand.

Also, look out for Ohio jurisdictions that have laws that mandate city oversight of your potential rehab, as well as ongoing registration and inspection of your rentals with the city - specifically ask agents you work with whether any of this may be the case with any property you are looking at when you work on your numbers.

None of this is a big problem - just extra layers of government you need to deal with - as long as you know all the facts ahead of time.

Good luck.

Thanks so much for the information :-)

Greeting Friends, I am a CPA from Santa Rosa, CA just getting started and committed to closing my first deal by the end of February! I have been listening to the podcast for a while and I’m so excited to jump in to the real estate game. I’m hoping to team up with an agent and manager in either Toledo, Cincinnati, or Cleveland. Looking forward to connecting with you! Kind Regards, Amy
