The issues I'm seeing have to do with how the new leases were worded regarding the security deposit and who signed the leases.

We have about 5 percent of tenants who had valid covid issues.

Joe I think one of the issues with rentals that need to be fed is how people have such a fixation on ROI and leverage . 

Your biggest issue is that $50k may not let you get a nice house and have any reserves.

Assuming they are professional and skilled in the craft - alot of the issues you have faced, they will remediate and mitigate moving forward.

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

I thought I bring this issue about Peter Harris back up .I was also told about the $10k start up fee .

However, the biggest con is that you are sacrificing a bit of your privacy by living right by your tenants and it is usually a lot more stressful since everything is your responsibility - managing tenant issues, handyman repairs, taking care of the lawn, etc.I would strongly recommend house hacking especially in the Columbus Ohio market!

As long as you follow the guidelines properly, it's not an issue. 

Interesting, I did not have the issues on mine when I first used but it take a while to get them confirmed.
