Have you considered moving those funds into a self-directed IRA (SDIRA)?

Then you can self-manage and learn all about tenants, contractors, etc. 

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

They are paying me rent directly.  

It either has to be indicated by the agent on a listing description (rare) or you have to do it the old fashion way which is to call and ask directly.

I am not yet familiar with the management fees for an STR yet as we self manage, however Cleveland itself is currently STR friendly and just requires them to be registered if you have stays over 90 days and then you register with the city and pay $35.

You would have to self-manage though, as paying a property manager will eat up most of your profits.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Where we fit into the "turnkey" model is that our marketplace specifically focuses on newly built properties or renovated homes in good markets with property management in place so you are not having to try to self manage from a distance or build a team on your own.

@Corey Pinch if you're a go-getter, make sure you find a company, or negotiate, that you're directly rewarded for your hustle - commissions, bonuses, etc.
