I'm biased because I work for Hospitable.com but a top tip for short-term rentals would be to look at tools that help you to automate hosting.

Be mindful of bias when doing research.

Hey there @Ali Ahmed - You came to the right spot for community my friend...I am biased but Chicago has one of the best real estate communities in the country.Where is your 3-flat and condo at?

My bias opinionKris is awesome!

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

You are conflating a skin color, with a political ideology, with the malicious intent to infer a racial bias if one is of nationalist leanings, to than label those who don't conform with your ideas, agenda and leanings, as that which they are NOT, racists. 

@Nicholas SoraceI may be biased, but $260/hour for an attorney is a steal...even for Ohio. 

It appears there may be a built in bias in the spread between acquisition and sales price by appraisers and underwriters.

It's super easy to work to be biased in the data, way too easy.

Nobody takes responsibility and the finger pointing starts.It becomes a mess.I'm bias as we offer turnkey so take what I say with a grain of salt.Much success
