@Jonathan Bombaci  You want an expert eviction attorney in the jurisdiction you are evicting in, available when you need them. 

It's not to say I don't get sick and tired of stuff, but if it is worth it, I will continue to bang my head against the wall.

Based on the continuing research, wholesaling property wouldn't be the right strategy. 

My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.

You will get great information continuing to be curious and ask questions while being involved!

Unfortunately due to the business you choose to operate incidents like the one you experienced are more likely to occur compared to a property that's continually occupied by a tenant where the water would more likely be run at a higher frequency which would prevent the pipes from freezing.  

Your continuous efforts of slander won't do anything.

I will definitely continue to look in the Akron Area for my next deal!

You can be sure they will continue to negotiate for, strategize and advise themselves.If the laws are similar where you are, you should consider if you want someone doing those things for you, and whether you are comfortable going toe-to-toe alone with a licensed professional on a $1.25 million purchase.

What makes you an expert that the unit is in a great location & condition and the market is hot, relative to the property manager?
