And the appreciation in Cleveland was almost non-existent until the past few years, so I wouldn't count on big gains over time.You also have to remember things change over time.

If there is some left on the existing roll, we leave that on the holder with the new roll beside it. 

I literally took on a client, well more like a Capital Fund Group that purchases multiple properties and they have different PM companies all using AppFolio and I had to setup their QB and also Fixing their existing QB. 

You can even use an FHA 203(k) to buy a fixer-upper and finance the repairs in the purchae mortgage.Otherwise, you CAN buy a property on a land contract with an existing mortgage.

You can run furring strips through the existing roof to the trusses and put the metal down on top.

Added new windows & central AC (already had the existing duct work in the basement!)

There is nothing that exists that will completely insulate your rental property from complete liability, because the minute it is rented, you are exposing yourself to liability.

I do not typically kick out any existing tenants just to fix up and rent out their units at a higher price.

The city has just begun to enforce the existing rules on the books.  

I don't believe there is any search or already existing grouping like what you are suggesting.
