I.e. if this property were located in Oakbrook/Centerville versus Miami Chapel/West Dayton, you will have a dramatic shift in price and operational ease.I would talk to brokers in the area.

I am working on improving my credit score and making sure to never miss a payment so automatic payments are turned on.

Banks ask for larger down payments to shift risk to the buyer/borrower in default. 

And using Turno, I have the cleanings automatically assigned to a cleaner.

I had a RE license as an Investor/Contractor and never saw that it saved much money (My experience anyway) People think you save 2.5 - 3% on every deal because you don't pay a Buyer's agent.....but most sellers are not dumb and will not automatically 'give' you that money, they will either expect that they keep it or maybe work out some kind of a split.So if you are just going to be an investor, there is no way that it is worth the cost (IMO)
