On another note, I had a lengthy conversation with VRBO last night while we both looked at one of my listings and came up some ways to improve it. 

Last thing, I would strongly consider consulting with a knowledgeable property manager or attorney once you have a copy of the current lease and all of the facts.

we just poured 5 foundations in Columbus Ohio in the last month the total packages with sidewalks is less than $30,000 and that's cheap.

I have been to RE meetups in the past with like-minded everyday investors pursuing similar goals, sharing stories and learning from each other, running through numbers, sharing network contacts, and even doing deals together.

(seriously, it is legit "last meal" worthy". 

We charge a transparent monthly fee for this and our digital property management platform - but we are not a local property manager.We also give owners the ability to use a repair triage service and our vendor network, or address repairs with their own handyman.Our goal is to make renting better for owners and residents.

Pick a lane based on your strengths and long-term goals.

My ultimate goal would be to buy fixer-uppers to turn into long-term rentals.

It's important to take the time to evaluate the goals and seek professional advice to ensure the right fit.

The goal is to set up and or buy smaller portfolios, or sell the entire brand which we have created.
