So Ive been involved in multiple transactions where it was not disclosed, and the seller was on the hook for $20k plus....because them and their agent didnt make the proper disclosure.That is one example.

Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for a property manager (preferably an individual) who can manage multiple properties in the Cleveland, OH area. 

This model works for me but it isn't for everyone.As Jonathan mentioned, have multiple conversations with agents/brokers, look beyond the "pitch", and just pick someplace where you feel you'll have the best shot at learning the business.

We've been running for over 4 years now and have multiple agents from different brokerages and backgrounds in our community.

Ramit Sethi in his How to Get Rich Netflix series explains that renting offers flexibility and freedom from hazards of ownership (fire, flood, sewer backup, etc etc) and I see multiple posts on social media from people needing to fiind a rental ASAP.

You could sell that and roll the profits into multiple downpayments closer to you so you can start to streamline management better and not pay for it.

Besides, some actually see it a as a "sign of professionalism" (it was kinda odd to me at first) when they realize that I have multiple properties.I would agree, however, that if you are investing in some lower class neighborhoods as has been discussed on BP, I would need to take steps. 

Most likely you want to stay away, we've had a few deals with 1 meter and multiple units, the city shut it down and made the owner convert those units or stop using them altogether because electric was one meter.

@Devin Peterson@Robin SimonI have multiple DSCR loans, including one brokered via The One Brokerage, David Greene's company.  

We run the calculator on multiple properties each week even if we are not actively looking . . . keeps us in tune with the market and you never know when a deal will appear.
