Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

Would also love to connect with experienced Cleveland rental investors.Much Thanks Hi you are not getting 2% rule, I am (and others that have been doing business there for years) .

-Management is low - you'll need at least 10% plus leasing costs - typically a month's rent for each lease-up, and sometimes a renewal fee as well-Insurance seems low-Are taxes accurate? 

While technically business purpose loans, these will still basically be 30yr (or whatever tenor) fixed rate mortgages.

Having used both, I would go with propstream if you're looking for a solid data platform, and are investing significant money into other systems as part of your business and its growth model.

The local economy seems to be centered around these types of businesses. 

I'm not sure about other neighborhoods in Cincinnati but my properties' area (Mt Healthy) just introduced a City Rental Registration, starting 2025, that costs $100.

My father is a contractor so we will be able to complete most of the work ourselves while keeping costs low and add equity.

With that being said we tend to see a lot of CA buyers relocate here for the lower cost of living including lower home values, property taxes, insurance, no state income tax, gas prices etc.

The only approach I’ve found effective is offering a deposit alternative, which lowers upfront costs for tenants without devaluing your property.
