Those types of properties can bring in good returns, but the management can be intensive, and finding reliable tenants for both residential and commercial spaces might take some work.

It sounds like you're really ready to dedicate time and energy into educating yourself about possible investments and I love that.

This seemed to be the most reliable way to find someone that I feel confident is good and knows real estate. 

Thanks so much  Hey how are you doing, I’m also looking for a reliable PM in Cincinnati.

I also found that if you pay people cash every day it spurs them to return more reliably. 

Use your energy on something more meaningful.

Focus on areas with good schools and infrastructure for reliable tenants.

It may take you 10 years to get there, real estate is slow, but it works reliably and it's not rocket science.Agreed Marcus.

But it takes time and energy from internally motivated people who take responsiblity.

It really depends on whether you prefer the hustle of managing STRs or the steadier income from LTRs.My TakeIf you’re drawn to the energy of the STR market and love the idea of working where people vacation, Florida might be the way to go.
