You can offer to buy the upstairs residents an area rug, but I wouldn't force it on them.   

If you are focusing more on turnkey's then I'd suggest partnering with one of the investment companies so you can buy a property that's been completely renovated and that has a resident already in place.

@Christopher HeidrichRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Generally buying in nicer areas leads to better experiences and confidence in your investing, but lower cash flow when you move out.

I’m looking into buying a rental(s) in this area.

Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

Don’t Just Buy—Negotiate – Winning in real estate isn’t just about finding deals, it’s about structuring them right.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong locations.I like the west side of Cleveland.

Most mortgages say the lender has the right to buy homeowner's insurance for you if you don't prove you have it.
