I'd be interested in doing something like that in Columbus as well.Any tips and suggestions for my 3 day trip will be appreciated :)

I imagine you are buying using conventional financing, and deeding to an LLC will trip the due on sale clause. 

One of the builders by me has their subs drive 3 hours round trip each day to get to the sites.

What you find is that the area near the thermostat is comfortable...the other area is either too cold or hot...just have to plan ahead or make extra trips up & downstairs.

In my experience  case workers have a high turnover rate, so you may just need to take a trip down to the office and explain to them that your going to evict a tenant for non-payment on the part of the housing authority.

For less than the annual CA franchise fee, you should be able to add the few other top-management actions your REI business needs to these trips - and/or make the few more trips a year (to Las Vegas - a quick, five-hour drive up I-15 with a stop in Baker for lunch at the Mad Greek - or short, cheap flight to Reno) to do everything else you have to do to manage the top-level, non-day-to-day things your business requires - from your phone and laptop on the desk you borrow in your NV resident agent's or your local property manager's, or power team-member realtor's office during business hours.  

If you are using hard money you need to budget for the points and fees as well as traditional third party closing fees.Repairs: The money it is going to take you to rehab the property plus an extra 10% of estimated repair costs to account for unexpected repairs.Holdings Costs: Here is where a lot of investors get tripped up.

We're taking this exploratory trip to see how we like the area and to get an idea of the lay of the land, which neighborhoods are what etc.

We have began replacing more often now as the cost is cheaper than having to make 2 trips.Our charges for service work that is done by us is $70 for the first hour (trip charge) and $50/hr for any time after that.

I could go on as to the laws you may be tripping over, but I'm not sure what you're trying to do.
