I'm not one to plug my business and there is enough good, bad and ugly online for all to see.You will find many "real world" reviews on both Ohio Cashflow and Oz Realty via a Google search.Not perfect by any means and we make mistakes.Honest mistakes that we do our best to rectify.Standing the test of time in a real estate niche called turnkey that has been scared by many shady operators speaks for itself IMO.I will say this, investors buying sub $100,000 properties and only owning 1 or 2 and expecting miracles are usually unsatisfied.Sub $100,000 requires volume to work and for a decent long term return to be realized.Our price points are $70,000 - $100,000 and rent's are from $750 - $1,100pm2bed, 1bath and 3 bed, 1 bath is our bread and butter.Sometimes 4 bed, 1 bath and rarely 4 bed, 2 bath or 3 bed, 2 bath.The odd duplex from time to time and the odd 4 unit or 6 unit but those are rare.B class areas mostly.Sometimes B- and C class on occasion which we will stress clearly in any deal pro-forma along with the pro's and con's.Also, those that get their panties in a tangle and decide to leave the wing of Ohio Cashflow, we can't help much anymore as it get's messy and muddy so we have to politely bow out from any continued engagement. 

I got engaged there back in 2009 and boy have things grown.

From the IRS Regulations 1.162-2 which is the actual law:-----(b)(1) If a taxpayer travels to a destination and while at such destination engages in both business and personal activities, traveling expenses to and from such destination are deductible only if the trip is related primarily to the taxpayer's trade or business.

There's plenty of other folks out there to engage.  

This also makes me wonder if I should ever engage a broker when I want to sell my property in the future?

Doesn’t hurt to tryI assume you did not engage an attorney before bidding or run a title report before bidding on these assets as Florida is also a super lien state
