@Eric Martin recommend you focus on Class B rentals and stay away from Class C & D.

There are more complicated strategies to maximize larger listings that involve having like multiple listings for same property and do individual room rentals when it is slower and then for larger length stays, larger groups, and more desirable dates you'd book the whole space, but I think its easier to just do two separate. 

I have a bachelors in Construction Managements and run substation electrical jobs for a living while my wife is a stay at home mom with the kids.

A good example of this is the Springfield Mall just 30 minutes outside of the District, where visitor levels are at pre-pandemic levels and average stay times are higher due to their prioritization of experience-focused retailers according to the CEO of Pennsylvania Real Estate Trust (Source).

Social media is a great way for you to stay in touch with your sphere of influence and tell them that you are now in the real estate business and would like to help them and anyone that they know buy or sell real estate.

Several economic factors are contributing to this shift:Overbuilding: Some areas of Charlotte have seen significant overdevelopment, leading to an oversupply of rental units.Tighter Money: Rising interest rates and economic uncertainty have made tenants more cautious with their spending.Tenant Behavior: Many responsible renters are choosing to stay put rather than take on the cost and hassle of moving.What Does This Mean for Landlords?

I would provide the capital and otherwise stay passive, but hopefully grab better profits than private lending?

Regular maintenance updates from your property manager—such as quarterly reports outlining requests, costs, and resolutions—can also help you stay informed and track spending trends over time.Building relationships with local contractors or networking with other investors in Cleveland can also be valuable.

Would appreciate honest feedback for the best way to get and stay organized!

I've been trying to stay in the north part of Fort Worth.
