Boiled down it's the idea of owning RE without any of the theoretical "headaches" of owning it - you don't have to come up with all the funds for purchase; you don't have to manage it; you don't have to unclog toilets; ETC.

It will probably save you a lot of time and headaches to go that route.

Personally, I'd look for C+ or B neighborhood in Cleveland could offer decent cash flow with fewer headaches.

Prioritize cash flow over location and asset condition and you will get a headache!

I live in a lower-income area, so I figure that the better tenants you will get with a safe house, the ongoing safety the tenants feel, and the lowered risk of a break-in (when occupied or vacant getting ready to lease), and reduced headaches/vacancy/potential damage are worth the marginal up-front cost of having it installed.

Proper bookkeeping now will save you so many headaches during tax season and as you expand your portfolio.Best of luck as you grow your real estate business!

If they can't then it's going to be a headache.

You'll also have headaches with tenants asking for waiver of penalties and your NSF fees. 

.🚨 Common issues I see:❌ Not properly tracking repairs vs. capital improvements❌ Missing out on cost segregation & depreciation write-offs❌ Scrambling at tax time instead of planning proactivelyI’d love to hear from the group—what’s been your biggest tax headache as an investor?

Tons of bureaucracy and headaches dealing zoning, DCRA and many other obstacles.
