Hey @Alex Dixon, great visual representation!

Hey Mike, good discussion and good that you have some clear expectations going in.As others have mentioned, since you'll be living there, it can be better to start with a subset of cities that you'll genuinely enjoy living in, then work backwards into data and metrics from there.For the cities you mentioned, here's a visualization of current rent-to-price ratios.

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

The best reason all of us could come up with to justify having LLC's was as a deterrent to being sued in the first place.

Open carry is an immediate deterrent.

Hi @Tanya Maslach,Here’s a visual workflow chart for managing your first MTR:Lead Vetting (Turbotenant): Screen and manage tenant applications.Acceptance & Move-In Prep (Hospitable): Assign cleaning tasks, manage reminders, and handle cleaner payments.Tenant Communication (Hospitable): Automate all tenant communications, such as move-in details and reminders.Rent Payment (Turbotenant): Track and manage rent payments with reminders.Hope this help's from one integrator to another 😀

I am getting married next October and want to be able to hang out with my future children but it is a little hard to visualize that since I don't have kids and am not married yet.What book would you recommend to read next to really pound my why into my head?

Would this be a deterrent for the seasoned investors?

They judge one building a duplex, and the other two townhouses, by visual inspection.

We create brand-able and share-able reports with all the variables and charts to help visualize an investment in order to share the reports with business partners, realtors / clients, banks, potential clients, etc.Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else I can be helpful with.
