Travel time has been treated unfavorably by courts, with a few exceptions.

I bought a 16 unit apartment complex that was a expense nightmare, with low rents, that I eventually gave up trying to make profitable. 

.- I live in Raleigh, 10-50 unit complexes will be hard to come by unless you're okay paying a premium.

With nearly 400 units under management, I've only had to show up in court twice in ten years.

STRs are not complex they are simple. 

If you’re looking for DIY options, PropStream and DealMachine can give you some lien info, but they may not always be 100% accurate or up-to-date.For Central Ohio, check with the county recorder’s office or clerk of courts for lien and judgment records.

Im trained enough myself at this point in QBO, but my bookeeper still does the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, etc) I just do the data entries for expenses. 

Picture this: 3 pools and hot tubs, a dynamic game room, a versatile venue, pickle-ball courts, outdoor theater, mini-golf, and more.

Won’t work with me James and I guess you’ll see us in court.  

This experience will help you prepare for more complex real estate deals in the future.
