The attention is invaluable to Toledo, and the analysis is reassuring to local homeowners and potential buyers and a great benefit to local economic development.City leaders must work diligently to take advantage of the positive notice and make reality match the prediction.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Dishwasher: I have the cabinet space to create a spot for a 24" dishwasher right next to the sink, however the spot is currently just cabinetry.

The reality is that a property properly renovated to a high level and eliminating deferred maintenance that is also managed at a very professional level, can and will outperform a marginally renovated property with marginally good management.

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.

But in reality, you will likely have more frequent turn over in C and D than A and B assets.  

No one plans for that, but potential reality in today's world if that is the case.I ran the numbers and then had a nice guru run the numbers of 401k vs cash money and the net outcome was about the same from what I remember. 

Besides, the harsh reality of investing is it's going to take a few to several properties before they start to stand on their own and you don't have to keep pumping personal money into your business.

So, embrace the reality of it, someone is in charge. 

@Mike Reynolds Thank you for the reality....I just couldn't do it anymore.....I too have had homes in magazines and yet my advice is ignored.....
