I would have to get with the property manager and mimic the exact plans they have set up in the lease, all of which were probably customized by the PM to get a few extra dollars.  

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

The folks on BP are a great resource as is all the training and tools. 

I do value her as a cleaner and she definitely goes the extra mile and are the eyes and ears on the ground for me.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

If you can come up with an extra 1.5% and finance with a conventional loan you have none of those downsides, a lower monthly payment and PMI only until you hit 20% equity

Connecting 1 on 1 with folks is always a good option too!

there are so many threads on BP from folks in NYC or CA or DC who bought a property in a "low cost" market and immediately regretted it:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1010977-12-00...i provide this information not to discourage you, but so that you can learn from what they did without making the same mistakes.  

With some more math, you’ll see that the extra amount in dollars is not that much compared to the total amount of interest paid.
