I currently have a large buy and hold portfolio of rental homes in the US, yet I still live in Sydney.It has not always been easy, but with perseverance, there is money to be made in the US real estate market.  

There are some HOA's that are in such bad shape they wont allow any type of loans and it must be a cash purchase.

I've rented and have always given the place back in good shape and have gotten my deposit back.

With all the resources available today to research and learn about the industry, I’m surprised this “easy money” mindset persists.To me, real estate is far from passive or simple.

Whether it’s helping a seller get their property in better shape for showings, structuring a deal that works for both parties, or connecting the right people, there’s always a way to add value.

The rental market in Cleveland is strong, with a high percentage of renters, so as long as you're asking for reasonable rents, the property is in good shape, and you are actively marketing the property, it shouldn't be vacant for more than 30-45 days.

if so what software would be recommended as easy to use? 

DM me or let’s jump on a call—I’d kill to swap more insights with someone deep in the game.Thanks for the reply—can’t wait to hear how your deals are shaping up!

Wondering how easy it is to rent these units and how often they are vacant if the tenants are on a month-to-month lease.

It’s not as easy as it was the past few years, and appreciation isn’t infinite.
