Appliance repair person lined up, warranties don't work fast enough for STRs, you need to pay to have an appliance fixed or replaced right away.

We added a mini split system, new floors throughout, rebuilt the deck, added windows, repaired waste lines, roof, siding, stucco, cleaned up the basement and remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms.

@Daniel DeBruin, this is really all market dependent and how much you want to spend versus how much it will impact both the rent you can achieve as well as the quality of tenants it attracts.When it comes to design, it is all a bit personal opinion, but I will say: contiguous flooring always trumps mismatched, hodge podge flooring.  

I am trying to figure out whether the quality of renters and level of crime in the area would make it a good place for Class B quality buy and holds.  

A higher quality property in a better neighborhood in a better city is gonna outperform any Cleveland property in the long run.

Look at the debt expenses, lack of savings, and then look at the flight to quality in passive investing vechicles(nvidia,s&p index).

Hire a contractor to repair.

How did the properties you purchased turn out, and were there any unexpected issues like liens or repairs?

You'll have better quality assets, and  more reserves.

As many of you know, Assembly Bill 968 will take effect on July 1, 2024, mandating flippers of residential properties to disclose recent repairs and renovations if they sell within 18 months of acquisition.
