Pitbulls are quiet dogs, and they  are short haired and not as messy as  say a cocker spaniel.... you get my point. but once again Dan thanks for renting to pets period...... 

Currently I work 35 hour desk job with good benefits so it makes my two hour commute (daily) worth it... for the most part.

What advice do the others in the forum have for out-of-state investors when it comes to managing the daily renovation processes?

I would suggest making calls to potential sellers daily. 

Here are the stats from Cleveland Water and NEORSD (sewer):~$100 avg for 1.9-2.1 MCF water usage per month~$200 avg sewer costThe total of $300 per month is about 20% of the entire rent charged for the duplex which seems extremely high for just water and sewer (and frankly, way out of what I budged for when purchasing the property).I'm able to see daily breakdowns and each day seems to be about 400 gallons used a day for the duplex.

I have not posted on BP very much but I have been on the site daily for years.
