My units are rented but one tenant is month to month and under market.

*I know the markets really well even better than some local agents.

Market rent is $1400-1500 for each unit.

Our market is also thriving. 

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

That seems to be harder in Cleveland than in our other markets.  

Bought undervalued (market value of 265k); refinanced about 1 year later to contribute to next property purchase.

Depends on your market and competition.  

I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

Significant benefits are the marketing and management.
