I have a similar goal and would love to see how we can help each other out!

From what I have heard, Dayton is a similar market, and you will ALWAYS save money by investing locally by not needing to hire a Property Manager (yet).

Now focus on what you, not what the real estate investment community, want to do after you educate yourself on both sides.If you are interested in selling, I know plenty of individuals looking for a similar home in the Scottsdale area as an investment property and I think you could get a great return right now.

If we build more, dense, "dormitory-style" housing or similar, we can more efficiently house people, bring down costs, and everybody wins. 

Thanks Greg, this was fantastic advice, and similar to what the plumber that came out said. 

I’ve had the most success with quality for lower cost by hiring guys who have full time jobs doing the same or similar for extra cash during the evenings, but then progress is slow.

With a channel manager to make sure no double bookings. then, raise your prices on all four and stop chasing 90% occupancy.Originally posted by @Villy Ellinger:@Ken Latchers I had a similarly crappy experience with Booking.com a couple of years back like several others described above BUT...

Many successful investors follow a similar path to grow their wealth over time.

You may want to consider a similar approach.While having an experienced PM and knowledge is beneficial for you, it means very little to a broker or seller.
