While I don't expect another 2008 size wave, I do see a large hold back of inventory coming to market. 

@Lucas DeAndrade how much knowledge do you think you've accumulated about the Akron market?

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

Are the tenants paying market rents?

You're in a strong rental market, and house hacking a small multifamily in Phoenix is a smart way to build wealth.

If they tenant is $300 below market, that's costing you $3,600 a year.

We do not raise it to market rents, we keep it at lease 10% below to try and reduce turnover.

Quote from @Sebastian Medina: I would search out people in your market that are flipping, and try going to a couple meetups as well.

Often, I am not able to keep all of my ira funds invested in active loans so I would like to be able to keep the money that is not invested in loans in a liquid "money market" type of fund on a temporary basis.

Just as bad as the posts you see from time to time of the grandchild wanting to work out creative financing to buy their grandparents house below fair market value.
