But to restate my point: MOST Americans have a BETTER CHANCE of getting a BETTER INVESTMENT just staying in the US. 

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.

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

BiggerPockets is a great place to find featured agents experienced with long-term rental investments—they can guide you to cash-flowing properties and connect you with resources like contractors and property managers.

As far as benefit to the seller goes, @Matthew Paul I think you are probably right on the money and regardless of whether they would have preferred to stay in this house rather than move, it is likely providing them some excellent cash flow; and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a deal that serves both parties better than the current situation. 

The ticket to this is you have to stay diligent.

@Mike Grudzien Happy to help on an DSCR and we also help train brokers in this program so they can speak on & guide better on it, Great product to have.

Table 1-4 is the Rollover Chart in IRS Publication 590 that can guide you.

At the refinance, I am able to get a loan for $180,000 and $20,000 of the money partner's money stays in the deal.

Personally, I airbnb half of my house, individual rooms, and stay nearly 100% booked.
