The City Housing License, which must reside in the City of Lorain (for non-residents)I have an agent for the LLC, but unfortunately, not in the City of Lorain.I'm looking for advice here because I couldn't find a State Statutory Agent with an address in Lorain City - which would be the simplest.

This wouldn’t be a full inspection, but rather a high-level look for obvious habitability or safety concerns so issues can be caught and addressed early, before they turn into larger problems or potential liability for the owner.Our current proposed pricing is $42 per unit for the smoke/CO inspection and $50 per device replaced, if needed.

I feed address, features and my thoughts on key features, and who I think most ideal buyer is.

Sometimes you only get a tax ID or description of the property with no street address.

The trade-off is obvious and worth addressing: a 15-year payment is higher than a 30-year payment, which can compress cash flow.
