Quote from @Nilusha Jayasinghe: Hey all, I'm a smalltime investor currently living in a flat of a Chicago 2-flat while renting the other out, and also have a SFH rental in OH. 

I lived in CA for 20 years, and we had W2 employees in CO and NJ, where we do not own communities.Also, we take much pride in the work that we do to renovate the homes.

I live in the greater Reston, VA area.

This residence features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, encompassing approximately 1,700 square feet of living space.

I do value her as a cleaner and she definitely goes the extra mile and are the eyes and ears on the ground for me.

Where I live, we still have a severe shortage of homes--median time on market is still 7 days and it would likely be shorter if not for delayed negations being the norm.

Cincinnati is one of my favorite cities to live in Ohio.
