As a sideline to a regular local self-managing small landlord in my position, oh, very much so.Anyway, Steve, I'll send you a connection request.

Oh, not going for those votes, I see....Next, exactly how many FTHB's impediment to buying a home is lack of $25k?

Berkshire Guard was the most competitive for 5+ unit properties in my state (Ohio) until they weren't and now just sent out letters to all their clients saying they are no longer offering coverage here at all - 100% non-renewal of the book of business. 

Oh no it is VERY real.

I ultimately settled on Ohio for a more landlord friendly and better price point/not have to run a negative every month after the property was stabilized.

For example, the only market in Ohio that made the list is Shaker Heights, where STR is explicitly illegal and the city actively and aggressively shuts them down.

Patrick -- I've been the director of Operations and also VP for two "Full -Service" property management companies right here in Columbus, Ohio?

Oh and the original Incumbent tenant dies of natural causes in the unit one month prior to closing in June which delayed it again.Needless to say...

Oh and dont think about STR's...Charlottesville, Waynesboro, Staunton, and Harrisonburg have been denying permits due to affordable long term rentals. 

really depends on the state.. for instance OHIO is one of the safest the judge wont confirm the sale unless everything except irs is taken care of.. you just need to know if its a first or second.NV is another pretty easy one at least Vegas. where the sales are handle downtown there is a title company right there and they run title on everything that is going and offer a hand out to any bidders just ask for it..
