Particularly when it comes to maintenance requests.Some context: I own two small multi families in Cleveland and they are managed by a PM company (B2B property management).

Monthly operating costs vary between €150-250 based on the amount of work and the type of accountant office you would choose to work with (those focused on foreigners usually charge more).It is true that in general this is higher than in many other countries.It is the first time I have heard about the possibility of a virtual office from out of an LLC.

With your maintenance and construction background, you'll definitely have a leg up in creating value, whether you go with a smaller home or a multi-unit property.If you're exploring seller financing and deal structuring, connecting with experienced investors here in Chicago will be a game changer.

I'll rehab and brrrr if it makes sense but I'll either stabilize my real estate company a bit or move on something if a killer deal crosses my desk. always looking for small multi's on clevelands east side. 

Either would be a great option; I'd probably choose Roseville because it's more established, but the City of Elk Grove deserves a lot of credit for its impactful growth programs, so it wouldn't be a bad option. 

It is an awesome system and does everything for single and multi family management, makes our difficult job so much easier.

My expertise is property management & I could help you with how to choose the right property management company, but it appears you are planning on self-managing.

Quote from @An Lan: I am not a professional real estate investor, I just invest in houses as a safe asset and do not choose to rent them out.

This is why many buyers choose to pay cash even if they don't have to as they want their cash to be invested indeed, especially given the current inflation.

Short term or long term, everything should function!
