As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.

I've worked with many investors that take this approach.

Looking for some input on how others would approach this situation. 

It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when researching multiple markets.Would greatly appreciate any advice/insights from experienced investors who've navigated these challenges :- How do you approach understanding and evaluating short-term rental regulations when considering a new market?

I believe this approach provides the best cash-on-cash return when starting out.I began investing in Columbus in 2017, and I've engaged in both BRRRR strategies and turnkey investments.

Columbus in particular has been a strong market for both approaches, with solid fundamentals for long-term appreciation and cash flow.

It’s definitely never too late to start, and learning by doing is often the best approach.

If either of these homes has been your primwry for anywhere approaching a year.

How would you approach this?

If the seller isn't responsive, then do like the idea of telling the tenant you tried, and see if they can get some free legal assistance from a tenant resource center.It is a good reminder as closing approaches to ask the seller to keep tenants updated on the pending sale and when ownership is scheduled to change.
