Talking with one of their reps today, but wanted to also crowd source some info here : ) Thanks!

I have been with a property management company for 2-3 years in Arizona and the property is being run continuously at a loss.

She is a truck driver and had always claimed she is on the road and can't talk.

Then I'd start by saving up, so you can buy your own house and rent out rooms in the house (or buy a place with a suite).Talk to your parents about what their goals are with the properties, what they like and what they don't like.

This is often more difficult to find but one strategy would be to talk with STR investors who are active in the market there. 

PS: Talk to @Jay Hinrichs .

That could make for some great opportunity on the appreciation front if you believe they will bounce back.Columbus is talked about adnauseam on the forums.

If you constantly chase the bottom dollar and bottom tier coverage you'll be the one carrying the most risk.Happy to connect and talk more.

I'd be glad to hop on a call and talk more if you'd like! 

I also have ~$20k that I've resigned for the scripted "mishap" that always comes up after purchase...lolI've read a number of other threads and I've seen a fair amount of talk about Ohio.
