I've been actively searching for investable areas, with a long term view of reliable operating costs and proximity to the ocean or beach.

Hello everyone,
I'm seeking advice on coordinating a rental for a property I recently purchased in the 48602 area. The house is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1,300 square foot home currently undergoing a full renovation (...

I have been using Turnoverbnb (now called Turno) for 2 years now, I made a team of reliable cleaners and my property is spotless.

I don't think there's a reliable way to come up with an exact dollar amount that everyone can just plug into their situation and be 100% safe. 

I agree with Adam that there's not enough information here to say who is at fault.If you are spending all your income on maintenance after three years, then I would say you are being cheated by the PM or you bought a real dump.Personally, I would suck it up and find an expensive, but reliable, contractor to visit the property with me and make an assessment of what needs to be done to fix the property and stop the bleeding.

Most of America does not know it, but our energy is cheap & reliable relative to the world.

Do you have a network of reliable vendors?

So as noted its best to be locked in and loaded for when the dream property presents itself. 

I am currently full time employment in a reliable position.

I like miami and columbus because miami is land locked and the opposite. columbus is very affordable. both are the highest net migration cities by head count in their respective states
