I’m a big fan of Cleveland myself because of its growth and potential.

It's not to get the biggest pile of money/net worth.I am also a big fan of Wes Moss and his work.

Not a fan of D.C. multi family right now prices are high with rates very hard to cash flow and unless you are playing in the 1.5mil+ you are in at best borderline neighborhood’s & also competing against a ton of newer apartments in most cases.

If suspected/in doubt, I would terminate rather than stand the chance of something hitting the fan and having my property labeled a "nuisance property."  

I'm also a fan of Concord if looking into Contra Costa County.  

I have been considering switching (currently using ERA) and not really a fan of their property management style.

You'll learn a lot more actually doing it than you will with any amount of education IMOI'm also just not a fan of MLM in general.

So far in the past 5 years, we haven't had any issues, but you're right, all is takes is one time and things can hit the fan really quick.  

This is a personal opinion of mine, but I have never been a fan of temporary buydowns.

Personally, I'm a fan of going studs out because I can QC the process and make sure that things are bulletproof for the foreseeable future.
