I think society in general does not understand the law and how police officers do their jobs. 

@Alexander Hadiwijaya actually Japan is suffering from a rapidly aging society and declining birth rate for a sharp decrease in population.

This problem pervades society, though.

The markets are highly irrational right now because public perception is overreacting.

The issue with the previously posted list is those are all cities Vacasa operates in and not just an overall market perception. 

I think every person has a different perception of what quality is and leaving the creation of standards up to the individual is a recipe for disaster.

It's just one slice of what can be done to make money in RE, it's not always the easiest, not always accomplished in simple steps, takes much more knowledge sometimes, Well, I started this thread and although it was many pages ago when it started, clearly I did not make it out to be the glamorous method the gurus seem to make it, on the contrary, I pointed out many of the common mistakes and mis-perceptions that investors make in this area in the effort to educate and avoid the same mistakes.

@Javaras Thomas Here is a detailed overview of all Ohio MSA's and secondary markets in Ohiohttps://www.biggerpockets.com/...We typically avoid markets that have a population loss...Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo...unfortunately, are hemorrhaging population...and along with it, possible economic downturn...I think Cincy and Columbus are your best options...I'm not sure you can go wrong in Columbus...That said, you can do well in any of these locations...we are in a housing crisis...as a society, we are unable to house folks very well...if you have a C-class rental that is safe, clean, and appropriately priced, you will have a waitlist...I'm not sure why people that don't immediately need cash flow place so much emphasis on it, but ultimately, the reason to invest in real estate is equity...long-term buy-and-hold rentals....you can do that anywhere in the country.

Last winter I came to a realization that all the gains, benefits, and economic activity society generates eventually end up in land value.

I do plan to continue to let an agent handle all my sales, but I am not sure if I will be easier for a buyer to sue me since there may be a perception I am held to a higher standard since I am in the business even though I am not representing myself.
