.- Since we're not really in full control of the property, the Hold Harmless also indemnifies us against anything that goes missing at the property and squatters.We get asked/told to do all kinds of crazy stuff by owners, who either don't care what happens to us or haven't really thought everything through.Hope this addresses your question.

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.

I would be very careful about what neighborhoods you invest in, though; Cleveland has some serious war zones. 

Unfortunately, this is generally catered more towards folks that don't know, don't care or too focused on a few bucks. 

Thanks for the tips this is great information.

I want to learn how to do this the right way, without coming across as overly focused on profits.If you have any tips or experiences to share, I’d be incredibly grateful.

They take decent care of the property, but I would get texts all the time telling me to fix many things (some valid, some completely unnecessary) and would get upset if I ever denied any of the requests.

I have had a couple of clients just get the loan approved with the long term rates and then the bank really doesn't care how they get it rented out after.
