The best opportunities in the Mansion are the parts where it borders an area that is at higher scale in my opinion.

Doing long-distance BRRRRs can definitely be tricky, but the key is building a solid local team you can trust—property managers, contractors, and agents who really know the area make all the difference.Ohio has a lot of great opportunities, but you’ve got to know which neighborhoods are worth it and which ones to steer clear of.

That kind of attention to detail can save a lot of headaches.Are you focusing on multi-family properties in SA only, or are you also exploring other opportunities elsewhere?

Don't discount that.Real estate remains a valuable investment despite current challenges due to its tangible nature, long-term appreciation, and potential for consistent rental income.

There should have been change orders alerting you of the additional charges, which would have given you the opportunity to make budget decisions.Check your management contract and check all your conversations with the PMC.

Thank you for the valuable advice!
