We had a bit of a falling out, so this is a complete unbiased review.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

By staying with one of the "big companies" you are subject to less unbiased opinion because they are only able to provide coverage for that one carrier.My recommendation, event to my clients, is every 3-5 years we look at the market and see if there is a better option for them. 

I'm writing this for my Mom and I'm looking for some unbiased advice here as I don't know too many people yet in the RE investing game.

You need an unbiased opinion.Here's a research done by a lender for multi family (they have offices in many parts of the country - excluding Cincinnati) and they reported that Cincinnati is a good city to invest in: (in fact, institutional investors have recently flocked to it - if you want to succeed, watch where the "big money" goes to)https://arbor.com/blog/cincinnati-multifamily-market-expansion/Cincinnati is where I invest and I live here, so yes I am biased but again, put more weight on the above report.

@Otto Williams you're biggest challenge will be doing an unbiased screening of their PMC business.One of the challenges we've seen with Turn-Key Companies is that their BEST people all want to sell properties for the higher commissions, which leaves their WORST workers handling the PMC side.

I would start with free, unbiased education and move along toward actual practice as an agent or salesperson under the supervision and guidance of someone local who is willing to train you and answer questions, learn about the RE laws of your state, become familiar with your market, see how comfortable are you speaking to strangers and build relationships; the rest is up to you. 

Therefore, they can usually be relied on to provide an unbiased opinion or unbiased recommendation.Unfortunately, insurance agents, in-house salesman, and similar sales people are commission based.
