Quote from @Ogonna Odo:  Small ones will not, they typically like cash or checks.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 House hacking my first home by converting the master bed into an independent studio that we rent on Airbnb What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I My goal is to have a cash flow. 

IF you plan on going back someday, and this is the home you want to move back to, then renting it would be a good idea as long as you estimate that it will cover itself, or preferably, cash flow, which it appears that yours will at @ $2K or so per month (after expenses). 

I purchased three out of state "cash flow" rentals with Evernest.

Because cashing out properties now takes 12 months on title, brrrring has gotten a lot slower for me.

Once you have cash in hand, you can unlock the unit for 24 hours and let him move his stuff out.I would also consider charging an additional deposit of $500 or something, just to prevent him from leaving all the trash or stealing your refrigerator.

I looked at a few auctions  in the past, but they were cash only.Good luck!

I would just be cautious, as there are some rough neighborhoods in both Akron and Cleveland that seem attractive due to the cash flow but will be money pits after the vandalism and vacancy.
