The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

I have a HELOC open on my primary residence to fund any renovations.

I was looking for some advice (viable target areas in Cleveland or Ohio in general, financing options and credible PM/realtor contacts) from the experts here though especially if you are in a similar boat as mine (reside in Canada/Ontario area and invest in US). 

For context, I have that policy due to my own religious restrictions as I'm not allowed to have any alcohol at my place of residence.

Also make sure you protect yourself with the correct contract documents. https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

Both of these allow you to low down payment loans to buy a primary residence with fixed interest rates.

It sounds like this is their personal residence.
