Serious consequences when dealing with foreclosures, both local and federal. 

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

Quote from @Sean Anthony: Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Sean Anthony website is down and Google states business is "Temporarily Closed".Many times these guys just open another company, so his name will be more important than the company name.He's been reported to the FBI, FTC, local law enforcement, and Ohio Division of Real Estate. 

Franklin Home Store and Vacasa are 2 local ones I found with a quick google search and I have no idea what they charge.If you want to consider the self-managing route, DM me and I can walk through the details.

I'm sure you have a great read on your local market but I'd recommend refraining from pretending to be an expert on a market you clearly know little about.Good luck!
