Many judges would feel you got paid even if no cash was sent to you.I could see this potentially working on a higher-end property that it in excellent condition with a Grade A tenant.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

I feel like I need to stay local (Greater Cincinnati OH)2-4 units.  

If you're ever interested in seeing what's going happening on the western side of the state feel free to reach out anytime. 

And I feel the most limited sympathy for it.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

We are sorry you feel this way however, we can still help you out.

Feel free to reach out anytime!
