Instead of trying to actively manage investments in singles and doubles have you considered investing passively in syndications?

You have to be an active manager and many current owners are not wanting a second job and are selling.

If you’re active in California real estate or looking to break into the market, you’ve probably heard about Senate Bill 9 (SB 9).

Not sure about maple heights/cleveland, but just down the road here in Akron, the Akron housing authority maintains a list of properties and landlords who are actively interested in providing section 8 housing.

I am betting you didn't put this (or the other ones) home on the market to then become the bank for someone who only has a couple thousand down and no credit instead of selling to a verified buyer, right?

First, I'd determine whether you like to be active (managing your own portfolio of rentals as you are today) or passive (letting go of control and day to day decisions/operations).

If you have deep pockets, I think Austin will eventually reward you, but if you are a newbie in real estate looking to cash flow positive day one or shortly thereafter, Austin is probably not your best bet in TEXAS.

I personally dont do any of that.. every market / or most will have an active fix and flip sector or buy and hold sector the important thing to me is the operator full stop.. great operator will do well in any market and all the national data simply is noise at least at my level. ( loaning our own money and JV deals with our own money)  we dont broker or anything like that.

At this point I was fearing for my property as it was actively being damaged.
