They have to take it out within 10 years, add it to their regular income, and pay taxes at the highest bracket in their life.

I didn't even have $1000 saved at that time and I was really just thinking of going the regular route of going through the banks and just save up as much as I could for a down payment on my first investment home to rent out.

Unfortunately I feel like a new roof is going to be pretty standard on the things I'm looking at so it might just have to get done on a regular basis.

Regular maintenance updates from your property manager—such as quarterly reports outlining requests, costs, and resolutions—can also help you stay informed and track spending trends over time.Building relationships with local contractors or networking with other investors in Cleveland can also be valuable.

For example, to get up-to-date property tax data you would need to scrape every county's tax data website (thousands of different websites, data formats, issues, etc...) then aggregate and clean the data.

I'm the VP of a roofing company in South Florida and work with a few good PM companies on a regular basis, a lot of bad ones too.There are good and bad PMs in each of those companies.
