Starting out questions

[Victor Andrade]

Hi everyone,

My name is Victor Andrade, located in the southwest region of Ohio (Cincinnati area). I am new to BiggerPockets and currently educating myself and preparing my "tools" to start investing in real state. My wife and I both have good W2 jobs therefore we are not interested in managing the properties ourselves. Therefore here are some questions I have:

1- What is a realistic percentage of the rent collected I should plan for property management (I am looking to invest in Duplex, Triplex or 4-plex)?

2- Can you anyone recommend a list of good property management companies that I can interview in the Cincinnati area (southwest Ohio)?

3- What is a good source of local news (website, newspaper, app) for me to stay tuned with latest news in the region?

Thank you for your time and help in advance!

Victor
