Quote from @Tamera McNeil: Hello,I am Tamera McNeil and looking into buying rental properties and investing.

They find the property, manage the renovation and furnishing then manage it.

I currently only have 1 duplex, however I want to set this up right so it will work for any size portfolio.Currently I haveHome folder>multi family/single family/legal documentsInside the multi family I have Name of property-> general property maintenance/first floor/second floor Inside of first floor (the one currently rented)I have, pictures (before and will have after) / lease documents / a spreadsheet with each month, what day rent was paid, if it was late, if late was fee paid?

I do know the city would like to see assisted living type property.

That way each property is protected from each other.

It is your property so unless the tenant is intentionally breaking things they should not have to pay for repairs.As others have mentioned, it is hard enough to get tenants to report small issues that can and do cause larger problems when I am not charging a fee, you are opening yourself up to major issues if tenants are reluctant to call because they don’t want to pay a fee.

The property is located in Cleveland Heights.

And you can go into contract for your new property at any time you want - even before the sale of your old property has happened.
