Hi,

As a foreign investor, I must use the services of a management company. As locals, are you managing it yourself?

Also, do you have any recommendations for self managing softwares?

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken Apartments.com is owned by CoStar. CoStar is known to monetize everything. However, Costar main goal is to control data, so they may continue to offer free services, and sell it on the back end.

And this is my MAIN concern, It's only a matter of time before Cozy/ApartmentsDOTcom charges Landlords to collect rent. Another reason why I absolutely hate ApartmentsDotCom is the email verification system after EACH and EVERY time you Log-on. I could quickly check Cozy as I'm running out the door takes 30 second literally to Log-on and do my business. Now logging on you have to not just Log-on to Cozy but the email account you are using to get their BS verification email. It's 2020 people that verification needs to happen ONCE and then they check your IP for validity. Everything about Cozy is more slow now and tedious just wait until we have to Log-on to ApartementsDOTcom wait for the verification email all the while getting pummeled by Ads from their 3rd parties sponsors. This is nothing short of a nightmare!

Hi @Rick,

Hope that's ok I'm asking- you're talking about them taking a fee for collecting the rents, aren't you paying anything today for a management company? I'm asking as a foreign investor and it really interest me. 

I don't pay Cozy to manager my  properties, if that's what you're asking? Yes with Apartment(,)(c)om owning Cozy I wouldn't be surprised if they will charge us to collect rent from tenants. At that point I will Vacate Cozy, and I know a lot of Local Landlord that will leave Cozy as well if that happens. 

Thanks for your reply.

I meant if you're not paying today to any management company. Are you managing your properties by yourself?

Hi,

Does anyone make short term lease around this area? How is that going?

How can I find management companies for this kind of rents?

Thanks!

@Ondrej Brown Thanks! Sorry for my basic question, but where can I find it?

@Josiah Barkman Hi, I’m looking for a local partner/‘boots on the ground’ in Canton.

If you’re still working there, please contact me.

@Todd Keith Hi, I’m also investing in Canton and looking for more deals, please contact me if it’s still relevant

@Michael K Gallagher Hi, thanks for your reply.

I’m looking for good deals and if you believe I may find it in Colombus, I’d be happy hear more!

Hi! Pretty new here. I own a small fund, looking to invest around 500k$-1M$ per year and extend it later if we make any success. I’m trying to make a diversified portfolio, combining multi families, flips and maybe even new construction. I have bought already few properties around Cleveland lately and in order to scale up, I’m looking for ‘boots on the ground’ (searching for deals on and off market, building a team, helping later on refinancing, etc), which will profit of course immediately + from project’s profits. Is it the place to find someone like this? Thanks!

Looking for reliable realtors from this area. Private messages will be appreciated!
