In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

You might check with a local attorney on this.In NY where I am, the period is 10 years.

If you have a local group to whom I could present, I do give out handouts. 

That is not something I think is funny or boastful, really it is shamful that these events have taken place.

I often times bounce questions like this off my local RE attorney first and then move forward quickly.  

If you end up having a vacancy with no cash flow, it hurts much more than when you are able to offset with cashflow from your other properties.I would recommend seeing if you are able to diversify a bit with some local or out of state properties that do cashflow some, even after Property Management, that way you could start to support these homes.

Network with wholesalers, check public records, and use platforms like PropStream or DealMachine to find distressed properties.Be Cautious: Pay attention to permits, inspections, and local market trends—over-improving for the area could hurt your profits.Starting with a solid plan and realistic numbers will set you up for success.

Drew,It sounds like you need to make it out to some of our investor networking events here in Wichita. 

This is a summarized version of events, but stray I rescued off the street gave birth to 7 puppies, bringing my total to 13.

It’s like giving the home a sense of place..a nod to local design traditions while still making it feel fresh.
