Is spending thousands on a sprinkler system worth it or do I have other options?

Quote from @Drew Sygit: We give our tenants as many options as possible - EXCEPT picking up their rent.Exactly.

Hi Daniel, condos can be a great low-maintenance option for LTRs, especially for absentee landlords since the HOA handles exterior upkeep.

Quote from @Alan Mills: Yes, I would agree with Chris and Bill, but if you have an option to get around this by putting it inside the house?

And if anyone has a better option, I'm all ears. 

You want a property that has the highest probability of maxing out on appreciation.Once done, you would want to explore the options below to maximize your rental income:- STR- MTR- Rent by RoomYou should go into this understanding YOU will live in the worst unit - in an illegal unit in the basement if you can!

If it does vest, then the 2nd isn't currently $8k and the paperwork could further help your case.Other option is to completely ignore the equity in your residence and look for creative financing on the property you want to purchase. 

They’ll be essential in helping you navigate challenges and scale efficiently.Since you’re planning for 2025, now’s a great time to start networking, analyzing deals, and learning about financing options (especially if you're a first time flipper..). 

@Isaac TerryIn terms of it being worthwhile, just like most other markets out of state if the barrier or entry is too high where you live, the landlord laws are not favorable where you live, and you are looking for positive cashflow then Cleveland can be a good option.

would love to see a seller finance specific calculator that has a option for 1031 exchange from buyer bringing in down payment.
