Checking property tax records is a good idea—frequent turnover might indicate investor issues, but it’s not a dealbreaker if everything else checks out.

I'd recommend looking in our market. it's not as frequent as Akron. find a good agent in the market using the agent tool and I'm sure you'll be doing fine! 

The first thing I'd recommend is focus on a market where you either 1) currently or have previously lived, 2) have family/friends that live there, or 3) vacation there frequently.

The times have changed on this though, the buyers have become very skeptical on solar, and have demanded that the balance be paid off by the seller at the close of escrow.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

He is also a frequent poster here on bigger pockets, especially in the note investing sectionHe happens to also share the same name as me - how ironic.

I was skeptical but they were impressive for me.

Sometimes I am honestly skeptical how some people scale to 100 units in three years unless they have a lot of liquid cash to spread around. 

They have seen, and they know I am telling the truth...and 90% of them are not even in the note business, just real estate in general.Sorry that you are skeptical, but this business is a risk reward business, especially on the NPN side, and if you take a calculated risk based on significantly good due diligence, the reward DOES EXIST....I never said everyone can do it, but I have.I really am glad to show you, that way you won't need to feel like I don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
