I may just try to find someone local to pick their brain.

We picked this bank because it was on Bigger Pockets.  

An up to date tenant quality map would really help me make better decisions as I expand; I'm 100% remote from several states away.I plan on expanding my Akron and Canton holdings, but I might be convinced to start picking up properties in Cleveland too if the numbers work better with similar levels of managed risk.

I pray that Realtors across the board get better at communicating with faster reply times (and or actually pick up the phone when it's ringing).

Make them based on what your tenants need (not want) which would also allow for them to customize (furniture use) to their tastes.I wrote a book on this a number of years ago that touches on a lot of these things, but it was focused on my specialty, "Energy Efficient, cost effective homes". 

There are so many experts on here it is tough to stand out, but picking say multifamily or 1031 specifically will help drive a ton of business.

Only exception is "blood or flood" emergencies (everything is an emergency to a tenant).3) whatever your tax professional recommends.4) Any way but NOT picking rent up or accepting cash - unless tenant direct deposits to your bank account.5) You'll want to improve your lease over time as you deal with tenant issues.

We've done a few of these over the years and I've never had anyone pick Option #2.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or want to pick my brain. 

Picking through the "rooms for rent" section on craigslist I saw an ad looking for a roommate for $375 a month with pictures of my living room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc..
