If you are planning on living there (ie in 1 unit) then you are house-hacking and this is a different calculation consideration then renting out both units and making it a true investment.

In Ohio, it’s true that you’ll need to file the eviction notice yourself or hire an attorney to do so.

Be responsive, communicative, deliver on what you say you are going to deliver (e.g. photos are true representation of your properties, amenities reflect what you actually have).  

Corona impacts will greatly impact this surplus but it is nice that the state had a $9B surplus.CA, over the last 10 years, had the 2nd largest net population increase of all 50 states (last I looked - I believe it to still be true). 

If the answer is "close enough," they move forward without much hesitation.While it's true that higher-quality tenants are easier to attract with nicer homes in better areas, I’ve managed C-class properties and had fantastic tenants.

But more importantly ask for their rate sheet, if they can provide it, to understand, what the true interest rate is, the lenders spread, and the cost for that rate.More than likely if a broker is using the same wholesaler, it is because collectively, that lender is offering the most competitive rate.

True, but that doesn't mean the other people there aren't worth meeting. 

Very True!

I keep saying it's making me a better investor and that's probably true.

Prefer keeping this kind of stuff behind closed doors if possible and sorting it out without revealing dirty laundry.I would have been in the same boat as many other turnkey providers that are no longer around if I didn't focus on limiting how much business I take on.And even with my stupidly strict criteria, we still copped the brunt of the sword.Business is business and people are people, sometimes things just don't work out.It's a true shame but such is life.I always want whats best for everyone and for every deal to work out and for everyone to succeed.With the best intentions, mistakes are still made.Those that work hard and do their best, will also make mistakes unfortunately.Again, I sleep in peace and whenever I F@#$ up, it's an honest mistake so crucify me all you want.Thank God, never been sued and back round is squeaky clean and I intend to keep it that way.Less is more and when crisis does arise (It always eventually does no matter how much you prepare and do your best), we can hopefully rectify and do our best to fix.For example, just had an investor loose $50,000 on a deal and the next few deals we are working for free for this investor.We don't have to do this, we want to...Not sure how we would be able to accommodate such an instance if I had 50+ investors loosing that much so I guess my stringent on-boarding criteria has saved our A$$ for 10+ years now.Granted, I'm burnt out on folks and have pulled back even more from doing our "measly" 4-5 turnkey deals per month and have decided to focus on just building my own portfolio.Like I initially intended when I moved to this country in 2012.Thanks mate and keep being great
