Also, those are the states that people are moving to; people aren’t moving to OH.I’ve never worked with contractors: I’ll get eaten alive.Since I have never been to OH, I need to go there for myself and drive the neighborhoods to get a feel for good locations to invest.Additionally, there was concern for my lack of experience in managing the challenges of the weather in OH and properties subject to snowfall.At the time, I thought the objector was more opposed to the idea of investing in Ohio; however, in retrospect I see that she had several concerns: newbie investor + OOS + BRRR + Ohio.

Yes, in retrospect I should have been adamant about collecting the rents and removing my percentage right off the top.Correct me if I'm wrong but most management firms do exactly that and also require a maintenance fund be setup (like a $300 stipend) to cover a major appliance failure so the manager doesn't incur it out of pocket.Also--they don't paint/make repairs out of that percentage fee.
