It's obvious why there are a lot of landlords who won't rent to people with evictions or felonies on their records. However, there are some landlords who discriminate against people with tattoos on certain locations of their body. Should landlords be allowed to discriminate against people with tattoos during the tenant screening process? Is a landlord screening against people with tattoos going a step too far?

 Yes. Landlords should discriminate against anyone that is not a protected class

 I 100% agree. Discriminating against people IS our job.......

I have to be nice to everyone now that they made @Jonathan Greene a moderator, and you got Mr Stevens banned. My days are numbered on this site

Hi,

So I am a new out-of-state investor for Columbus and currently under contract for a property. I definitely will need to work with a solid PM who is reliable and has good communication.

Honestly, reading many old comments and posts, it seems most people are not happy with the PMs they are using :-(

I used BP to filter down a few PMs and it gave me the below results
1. Poplar Homes
2. RL Property Management Group 
3. Evernest
4. 10X Property Management

I looked for each of them on BP and other places and seems bad overall. So I am really confused and want to know if someone has used any of the above PMs recently in Columbus area and are satisfied with them?

Also, I recall reading on BP earlier about a PM Interview Questionnaire but cannot find it anymore. Would someone be able to share that link?

Thanks a ton all! 


 2 or 4

1 and 3 are large conglomerates

Quote from @Gretchen Williams:

I have a duplex in Columbus , OH. One side is traditional rental and the other side I have furnished and have been renting as STR. I advertise on Furnished Finder, Zillow etc. Recently I have had 2 different people kinda proposing the same thing: they want to sign a year lease with me not to live there but to then in turn rent it out short term to others. Since I have been semi successful with this approach I can see it working. However neither person is local , they both have filled out applications and seem to check out , but both have "Not for Real ID" IDs which seems like a red flag to me. My friend recently told me of this scenario where the person I lease to would perhaps then double book individuals and keep deposits.

Was just curious if anyone else has been approached in this manor, and if I am just overthinking this.

thank you!


 This does not pass the sniff test for me. I would not do this if I were you

Hi everyone,

I am high income earner making more than 500k per year with my W2 job, 40hour week.  I am planning to build a business to replace my income in couple of years so as to have monthly cash flow equal to my W2 income. What's best strategy in 2024 or 2025? Open to out of state investing, non real estate etc? I am somewhat limited with time but have right mindset. Thanks in advance.


 Buy rentals with 10% NET income so about 900-1100 Net per prop per month. Get 10 or so then go fishing, 


 Thank you. Can you give example of buying something that gives 1000$ net profit per month per property?


 Bob doesn't go here anymore

Post: How to choose a location from the US?

Quote from @Mike Tikh:

Currently stuck in analysis paralysis on trying to find the right location for a first property, with a willingness to move anywhere in the US. 

Goal

My objective would be to go with a MFH, 2-4 units, higher would be better. I'd house hack and live in one of the units the first year, and use an FHA 3.5% loan. For amount, it would likely be in the $500-700k range.

My expectations are to have a negative cash flow while living there, and possibly a slight negative cash flow after moving out (until interest rates lower or rents increase). For example, a $650k 3-4 unit where each can rent out at $1,500, allowing for a negative cash flow of $2-2.5k/month the first year.

Possibilities

Given those goals, it would rule out the more expensive places (California, Seattle area, Austin). However, I have no idea how to choose from the remaining cities, it seems there are a lot of potential options:

Midwest - Michigan (ie: Grand Rapids) seems to have options, also seeing Columbus Ohio and Indianapolis coming up

Reno - I've seen mentioned several times on here

Pittsburgh / Philadelphia / Twin Cities - All mentioned as lower cost to get started, and seem to be experiencing growth

I'd ideally like to find a place that has strong potential for future growth, a diversified economy, and I don't mind living in (being close to nature would be a plus). 

Any thoughts on how to choose - what metrics to evaluate, resources to read to help?


I recommend visiting a few cities to see which one you like best. I moved to Columbus, and I'm enjoying it here. Philadelphia is also an amazing city. However, I wouldn't want to live anywhere in Michigan because of their college football team.
