I own one half, 3 bed 3 bath, and I’m currently living in and renovating it with plans to rent down the line.

I recently added a half bathroom to existing footage in a unit that is valued over $1k/ft that the comps showed the half bathroom added ~$50k of value.- not sure of your home market but i assume you are choosing ohio for its lower cost.  

You can't charge extra pet rent or even a pet deposit because it's legally not considered a pet.

For me at least, doubling my profit is well worth the extra two months of expenses on the market.

Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. 

“If you are seeing a billboard of ‘Sell your home’ or ‘We buy houses’ or whatever else, those kinds of things might be us.”Lapsed licensesDepartment of Licenses and Inspections records show about half of the Philadelphia properties owned by RAD or other Mendenhall-led funds were granted rental licenses since those businesses acquired them.Landlords are required to renew a property’s rental license once a year.

With an extra vacancy or a maintenance issue or an extra turnover, this is definitely a negative cash flow producing investment.So when you say the rent growth and value growth have exceeded your expectations, I would love to have you respond as to how that is possibly the case. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Well, what is it when have to give away half your cashflow?

It eliminates extra paperwork for foreign investors and is better for them.
