@Scott Trench you and I don't always 100% agree on everything, but I think you nailed this one. 

But really you’re just creating a second job for yourself and one that doesn’t pay very well if it even is cash flow positive at all 😆I used to buy houses for STR but now that I’ve got several STRs up and running that I bought many years ago, I stopped buying STR once mortgage rates went up and housing prices went up.

The easiest of all the thing I've been involved in.

Findlay is a real oppotunity beause you’ve got a combination of stable job sources, a decent population size, and often lower acquisition costs compared to bigger metros.About choosing an agent..

The group is full of those that do that and the people range in size.

I made a relatively low offer and after one negotiation we settled on a price that was about 45% lower than the original list price.

One year we appealed the assessmnet on 65 of our properties. 

Two are one, one is none. 

@Jamie Parker pay for some one-on-one time with @Jonathan Greene - it'll be worth it!

One thing I often see lacking from the search criteria is client experience.
