@Jon L.Your questions 1 and 4 in the survey are not something a lot of investors would want to provide... breach of privacy etcFor your question in the post here about the most frustrating part, for me plenty of frustration around contractors... finding quality ones, finding ones that haven't taken on too much work to where they bring in inexperienced guys to cover their multiple jobs etc

Hi Greg, I spend a lot of time listening to STR podcasts and YouTubers and the consistent assessment is that quality design is pretty much a must. 

A quality pair of dress shoes for the office?

., Come with facts, evidence.SEO for example, get the best possible quality leads and it is free... but it takes time.Paid marketing gets you ..

And then, ironically, you quote Warren Buffet who made his fortune in stocks, not real estate.Like Warren Buffet, I believe that the US is the land of opportunity but I believe that, in the US, investing in the stock market is vastly superior, as history has shown.

You are likely going to have to spend more time helping your mom and better to enjoy the quality time you have left with your dad.Go through each property and write out what it brings in, expenses, etc and rank them as to the one you want to get rid of first.

Note: We haven't made any decisions yet, they just seem like a quality option and wanted to figure this out before we got too far into deciding which applicant.

Property is a C class area, so I am concerned about the quality of tenant I will get but I am close to Ohio State University, a hospital, and short north/downtown columbus so I am hoping as long as I screen tenants I can find some promising people.

Getting a good quality tenant with these cabinets, painted or not, could prove challenging.

I operate in 7 markets and in each market we have a quality control manager or runner, a cleaner with at least 2 backups, and a handyman/woman.
