Employment wise, Aultman Hospital is consuming the SW part of Canton and Timken Steel keeps plugging along with some smaller manufacturing companies staying steady, but outside of Aultman I haven't seen any significant job growth or companies moving here, and if they do, they usually aren't coming into the City.  

By accepting pets, it not only has it increased my cash flow per stay, but it has opened up my place for more bookings. 

Thats a ton of different guest stays to average per month.

It’s free and that is one way to get free listings.judical states also have to file a lawsuit and you can search civil suits or contact sheriffs offices to get the calendar and listing for foreclosurespaying for a site is all in one and maybe worth it compared to how much time you are spending searchjngif you stay in one area then I recommend what I mentioned  

However, I’m increasingly excited about starting a unique stays/glamping business.

Same property manager staying involved (did $56k last 12 months).  

Flying in monthly helps, but having a local contact (realtor, manager, or trusted partner) is key for regular updates.Use tools like progress photos, video calls, or project management apps to stay connected, and schedule visits at critical stages of the project.

Building relationships with wholesalers and staying active in local REI groups has also helped investors I know find opportunities that still pencil out.On the refi side, DSCR loans have been a solid option, especially for staying cash flow positive.

I was 37 when we got started for all of the reasons you stated and I lacked the knowledge/discipline that I would later find.

Or stay a second year and sell tax free.
