As long as it cleans my bum I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about it, and I suspect most of your guests won't either.  

You'll spend more chasing them than you'll collect.

There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.

Finding a decent contractor might be one you want to spend more time on in the start since it could take longer to find.

Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

If its the latter then I always caution people spending money to save some is not always a good strategy.

I've always believed in the saying that "there is nothing wrong with any deal, as long as the price is right" lol.This might sound cliche but all of Cleveland can cashflow if you buy cheap enough and if you buy with cash.And cashflow it can very well.Just like all of Ohio.You make money when you buy and not when you sell.So make sure to buy dirt cheap.Buying cheap also "acts" as a margin of safety for any mishaps that happen during rehab or issues like the OP had with the first property manager.I see many folks nowadays buying off the MLS and overpaying, spending too much on rehab and then getting dimed to death by property management.While I'm sitting on the sidelines as a turnkey provider watching it all un-fold and thinking how they just could have bought my "overpriced" turnkey property and would have been into the deal for at least 30% cheaper...It's a shame but it's what the people want, so many give the people what they want.Thanks 

For example when someone wants to have financial freedom and spend more time with family, but then sets a goal by creating a heavy active income stream that involves their personal involvement daily.

My question is what’s the best way to spend my 1031 of 300k do I buy a 2 or 3 family put right ?.

People who think they are going to spend a few hours per week and make a $1000 is not reality.
