@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

Firstly, never underestimate the power of having low leverage on your property.

ThanksWith described characteristics and a few assumptions on DSCR, we are very low 7’s with no repay and 1-point if that helps for sizing. 

If someone is relatively happy where the are, the low interest rate they currently have will keep them tied to the property.

Cash flowing markets, low taxes, landlord friendly and large demand in renters. 

We came in low with our offer, but were willing to skip the inspection (which had already been completed before we offered) and stipulated that we would close in 20 days, which was super valuable to the seller.

You basically have high growth and low cash flow Columbus OR decent growth and solid cash flow of Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati. 

Owning locally has helped me accumulate considerable equity with a relatively low initial investment.

Was sold above the asking price                   within days of listing.High ROI: Achieved a 50% return on investment due to low renovation costs and increased sale price.Investor PerspectiveRecognized the potential others overlooked by seeing beyond the property's initial appearance andm aximized profits by investing wisely in visible, impactful areas.

At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.
