Investing in Cleveland OH experiences

[Account Closed]

Hi

I'm an out of state investor looking to buy a rental property in Cleveland OH. Want to start small with a duplex first. I will be hiring a property management company for sure and only considering buying in grade B or above area. I would like to learn about the experiences you have had so far in owning a rental property as an out of state investor. Has it been passive if you hired a property management company? Has it been a bad experience investing out of state? Would love to know different experiences. Thank you.
