We've been going to duplex open houses in Cleveland & Akron and a few showings with our agent who has more experience in the Akron area, to learn about neighborhoods, price, quality, etc.

Your journey in real estate and business ownership is truly inspiring, and it sounds like you've gained a wealth of experience along the way.

I would love to hear from anyone with experience in this space whether you've done it yourself or know someone who has.

I just closed on a new construction home through Rent To Retirement, and wanted to share my experience.

My interest rate and purchase price wouldn’t allow for positive cash flow unless I charged an unreasonable rent—or put about $500K toward the principal, which isn't ideal.I’m a high earner, so I’m weighing my options:Take the loss ($60K-$100K), buy another house, and chalk this up to a hard lesson learned.Refinance, put more money into it, and rent it out long-term—even if it’s not immediately profitable.Invest my money elsewhere and try to make peace with staying here for several years or just move.Would love to hear thoughts from anyone with experience in real estate, financial strategy, or noise mitigation.

Anyone have any recent experience with Aloha?

Does anyone have experience with this and how much do you pay for referrals? 

I have experience with Quickbooks Online, and looking to learn to use Appfolio as I have heard that is a common software tool used for managing the books for REI.

That's a lot of value, not to mention our experience with other deals we have negotiated and built for many clients.

Any / all insight, experience with occupancy rates, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
