I'm still looking for my first property and I have a lead, sort of.

Slip and falls are a leading liability concern a property owner should be aware of and snow removal is not something to cheap out on. 

In the infancy of this new wave of Airbnb, say 5 years ago, there was a lot of money to be had, which draws in a lot of investors, which starts to suppress the revenues and also draws attention from critics, which leads to taxation and regulation.

Most agents paying for leads are inexperienced, which is why they need to pay for leads.Look for an agent with a minimum of 15 years of active experience.

From digging into real time market data and calcualting cash flow.. to literally driving for dollars, you want someone with an incredible network of pros who can unearth leads (probate attorneys, divorce attorneys, local fix and flip circles) that might connect you with a ready buyer or flud tenant.

Selling the convenience of the location first and in such detail may lead some renters to assume that there is something not so great about the house itself since the sale in on the location. 

The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

Any leads on investor friendly agents in the area would be much appreciated!

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Having a lease from someone that has no authority to lease the unit does make them a tenant.
