Giovanni, Congrats on deciding to go to the next level. 

We invest in Greene County, Ohio and currently have 24 low income units. 

Quote from @Michael Lam: Hi All, I'm an out of state investor looking to start a rental portfolio in the Cleveland area for small multi families (2-8 units).

We profit about $1200 a month from both units.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

I am in the same boat.I have a bunch of SFH and I am looking to consolidate in many quads or 1-2 small apartment complexes(5-20 units).

I don't do large rent increases on my tenant because I don't want a unit turn. 

Not just the safety point but the maintenance level it is way too much work.
