Unfortunately, there is a good number of illegitimate PMs and contractors in the Cleveland area, BUT quality property management does exist here.

I oddly enough started with Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and then went on to three more books from Bigger Pockets publishing who all mentioned that book.

He is a poster here on BP who has talked about it the most, and for the longest as far as I can remember, so he will be a quality contact for helping build your team. 

Generally a foreclosure is in poor shape and needs repairs to make it anywhere near comps.

We rented out home in Vegas as fully furnished. and where shocked to see rents at double or more standard rent.. furnishing nice but not over the top.. been very good on that end plus with rents that high the quality of the tennants is very good.. can easily self manage..

From an outside viewer, I would be nervous to work with either one of you, since you are fast to go public with any grievance and the realtor has poor communication skills and has no problem blaming external circumstances for lack of a simple courtesy call.

If the modem and router are separate devices, spend up and get a high quality wireless router. 

@Craig Bowman Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

In accordance with the lease agreement, the property shall be fully vacated, cleaned, and returned in the same show quality condition upon move-in.

You will want a lot of remote tech and automations.Even with all of this your issues will revolve around Quality Assurance - be cognizant of that and build systems to ensure quality.
