Only thing you can control is price and making sure the home is prepped and shows well. 

North Canton is a mess right now, they outsourced their building department and went way off the deep end with controls and penalties. 

Let's analyze each issue you've mentioned:1) Tenancy Length: besides issues a landlord can't control, like death, sickness, job loss, etc., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.

They have a system, team, and their own contracts, and also provide proof funds, even the EMD. 

My property manager I don't think has a chance to relax, but she does have systems built around her to free up the time when it comes to regular maintenance and rent collection. 

Also, when they said they have "network" to find investers/property owner to land my offers, and "system" to calculate profits in order to show whoever owns the property short term rental is the more profitable option.

I also look at it from the perspective of I now have extra cashflow to remove dangerous trees or do preventative maintenance to systems that have higher likely hood of causing damage.For the management I self manage for now so that fee just goes to me.

I suspect those guys grew to fast and it got out of control..

For CY25 I realistically think we'll be somewhat in the black with about ~3-6% ROI/COC now that much of the initial rehab is settling down and we have our systems in place.  

Perhaps the most important of which is that its more predictable and more CONTROLLABLE.
