@Hira Y. are you sure the PMA expired and doesn't have any continuation language in it?

You will have a leg up on the language, transactions, inspections etc.  

I find that putting a utility cap in the lease agreement they sign and calling their attention to it really helps make them more aware that they'll have to pay for excess usage so, fortunately, I haven't had to actually bill anyone yet, but the language is there if I needed to. 

I think it is different if you live there, speak the language, know the market.  

“Jorge, you’re speaking my language here—efficiency is the game-changer, and every move counts.

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

I'm specifically looking at a property on Lake Monroe.

Wanted to get some thoughts from more seasoned small multifamily investors on a few items or any other suggestions:- Any specific pros/cons of any particular states in SE (TN, AL, GA, NC, SC) to consider?

Does anyone know of a dscr lender that will allow for seasoned money for a down payment and a really good property manager in Ohio specifically in Columbus, Cin, and Cleveland?  

Most of the other posts provided general information that is good to know but did not answer the specific question.
