On the other hand I don’t want to be cheap and losing money in the long run bc I’m not properly fixing things.

I imagine this isn't cheap but I don't see another way.

Hello fellow landlords,The properties in question are in a market that although it is not cheap, it draws lots of money-cautious tenants.

Do you want cheap, regardless of speed and communication? 

Slip and falls are a leading liability concern a property owner should be aware of and snow removal is not something to cheap out on. 

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

Usually the numbers don't work to build in these neighborhoods, unless government tax credits, etc.CCLBA has really cheap parcels for sale for owner occupants.

Using a local real estate lawyer is useful and cheap.

Why are they so cheap????)
