It sounds like you’re on a solid path!

Just regular ones.It sounds like the consensus is to just put up a second mailbox on the street and label them as A and B.

This sounds like it might be more than a simple weekly cleaning. 

I spend maybe 15 min a day engaged in the operation but it has not always been that way. 

Anyhow...sounds like you're on the same page with @Shawn Parsh about picking the worst property in the best neighborhoods  >>> I get it, and trust me I'm always looking for those gems (if/when you find them, they get snatched up fast!!).

It sounds like you might have put the deal in front of some wholesalers pretending to be buyers.

It sounds like you've made it work well in Cleveland, but for rookies I think its better to go elsewhere.  

If you'd rather be working with your hands, then you sound like someone who is a prime candidate for a DIY rental rehab, for example.

I recently found myself struggling to even find a podcast to listen to, none sounded like anything that would serve me in my current state of mind, (out side of BP On the market, let's be honest that's the only reason i have any idea what's going on at a macro level with the economy at all, so anytime a new episode is out there its a listing immediately).  

Adam I bet dollars to donuts this is not CA property sounds like D class rust belt or mid west.Chicago etc.
