Is anyone out there willing to be boots on the ground in Cleveland particularly old Brooklyn to check out the condition of a property?

The usual way, but not the right way, to try to buy a rental is by finding a property on the MLS, where agents congregate, make an offer and then try to get financing to buy the property.

Done right just the first house will give the owner the ability to retire for life after the mortgage is paid. 

What was the purchase price of your property?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Renting it out before that could violate the loan agreement unless the lender grants an exception (e.g., job relocation).

I love how you mixed the metals too.

Airbnb has never penalized bookings when the property is sold in my experience, just to provide documentation it was sold.  

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

I recently watched a video on social media that mentioned the way he was buying properties and yielding the benefit of the sellers low interest rate is having the seller put the property in a trust and then purchasing the trust.
