I read the permitting process and it seems somewhat strict.

Hello Trying to get back on the real estate investing space and build new connections that can help me to speed up the process.

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

You'll probably get better service approaching it that way than hiring a professional manager anyway.  

I know real estate is a long term play but you never know when you'll need access to that capital.There are turnkey companies out there that handle the entire process for you from top to bottom so it makes for an extremely passive investment.

It has been good to be brought down to reality and realize that there will be many struggles during the process.

They usually have a process for filing a claim with the city for damage caused by them, and they may be willing to cover it.

So I can hire a PM company to just do the tenant placement part? 

Make sure your financing is in place, and consider whether you’ll manage the property yourself or hire a property manager.

Is there someone willing to guide me through this process?
