It’s not always easy, but each challenge has taught me something new.

Is anybody able to find renters without pets and is there a way to handle the emotional support animal situation.

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

For higher-end properties in Cincinnati, everyone seems to claim they can handle it, but then there are performance issues. 

There's no one size fits all of course, but generally the STR/MTR/LTR mix in a multi-family unit can be challenging because the way renters utilize these properties is so different.

This is true, but can increase your chances of success by working with an experienced team.Financing Challenges: Unexpected rate hikes or tightening lending restrictions can complicate your plans. 

How should this be handled: tenant pays, landlord pays or split costs and why?

You could structure it where they provide most of the down payment while you handle the management side.

The market there has been exceptional for me, but not without its challenges.

Confirm that the warranty applies to the type of property you own and consider whether the annual cost and service call fees make sense compared to just handling repairs yourself or using your own trusted contractors.
