The south is a pretty hot market, but it really depends on what your goals and strategy are.

Time is money, it's the ultimate money.Imagine missing a hot sellers market because you insisted on doing it yourself.

Make sure to follow their inspection list, the inspector checked everything on that list, testing every single plug in my property, turn on every appliance, hot water.. very thorough. 

Greenville county is a hot area.33 people per day moving to the area.

Also do occasional hot yoga (which will make you feel like a completely new person - and my wife loves it!)

Remember that  3Million$ judgement for Hot Coffee trial against McDonalds? 

The market is extremely hot around Boston/north of Boston so I continue to expand my search area but I am getting into markets I don't know very well.

More than four months rent were lost between missed rent payments and legal fees to evict the tenant.The next tenant was much better, but had frequent complaints regarding legitimate problems: -bathroom sink hot water knob that didn't work -rat urine smell coming from the vents -water leakage from the toilet(I understand that problems occur, particularly with properties of this age, but it was surprising/disappointing considering I paid Ohio Cashflow $64.9k for a property they bought for almost half the price, then, even after having done improvements, still required frequent repairs.)3) Property appreciation I bought the property for $64,900 and sold it for $48,5000.

For example, after dealing with the hot tub myself for a bit I created a couple training videos for the cleaner, such as how to empty the hot tub with a sump pump, refill, etc. 

In the summer, the apartment became unbearably hot even after we installed three AC's.
