If you want some input on what to do after identifying your market, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching new investors for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

If looking to change the market value of property, well there you go. 

But I do have some family in Canada that have told me there has been some tax increases to the STR owners to try combat housing issues.

@Jared Goldwasseri would strongly recommend you go to Cincinnati in person.
