Smartland in Ohio
Anyone worked with Smartland in Ohio?
I am asking both in terms of their turnkey products and in general how competent they are and trustworthy.
Thank you

I was hesitant to begin real estate investing and researched lots of different opportunities. I am local to Cleveland and learned about Smartland through BiggerPockets. I met with Steven Gesis and others on the Smartland team and felt very confident making my first investment in a turnkey property in April 2015. The houses were in much better shape than other rental homes for sale that I looked at in the area. Smartland helped me picked out a property that made the most sense for my budget and investing goals. I purchased my second turnkey from Smartland in November 2015 and I am preparing to hopefully purchase my third soon. I still occasionally look at other opportunities but haven't seen anything that I would be nearly as comfortable with. Smartland's property management has definitely surpassed my expectations too. In particular, they are very thorough in screening tenants so that there will be little hassles or turnover. And there seems to be good demand by potential tenants for homes that Smartland has renovated and is managing. Please feel free to directly message me if you want to discuss this more or if you have specific questions.
