But there are some basic bid issues owners are often unreasonable about:1) There really isn't time to get multiple bids- No heat during winter or ac during summer can often result in a municipal ticket or worse2) The job is too small to get bids- Estimated cost is $700 - how is saving 5-10% worth the time getting bids?

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success
