I had a great CPA on the east coast where I used to live but I am hesitant to do taxes remotely.

I call them Micro hotels/co-op living—12-bedroom duplexes with 12 baths and two standard common living room kitchen spaces. 

I used to live in Bellevue, when I started investing in Cleveland area, I also went for BRRRR, I was a newbie, and it was hard to pull off.

It always seems the people that don't live in CA or have ever lived in CA are always the one leading the bandwagon of "why would anyone live in CA?".

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

We now live in Arizona and I frequently fly back to the southeast to repair or inspect the properties and already deduct the travel, lodging, and half of the meal expenses from my taxes. 

@Kerry Noble Jr  I used to live in Indianapolis before moving to Georgia. 

Sure, markets change but if you had enough buffer in your initial decision, you should be fine.I live off my LTR's.

I'd sell every Cleveland house and put your money in a better market. just my 2 cents as someone from ohio and who lived in columbus for 12 years
