I would only do this if you can find a quality property manager.

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

I'm not very familiar with these markets but I've found Columbus has great tenant quality on average, less property crime, and great appreciation potential.Any market can offer killer cash flow with those lower purchase prices, but in my experience, you're more likely to run into challenging tenant situations and higher maintenance costs that eat into those returns.

@Reeves Bennett Focus on quality over quantity. 

Even if your transfer goes through, it sounds like the regular servicing we'll be the same quality as you're experiencing now.We transferred two loans to Del Toro.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

I’ve had to rent in the offseason before and have gotten quality applicants but it does take longer. 

A tenant doesn't qualify for a S8 voucher by making good financial and life decisions, so what quality of people do you think the system is dealing with?

In my experience, Section 8 tenants are low-quality.

We've had clients over the years who love Bronzeville & Hyde Park and have purchased large buildings with condo quality finishes or updated the buildings & are cash flowing while living in the building.
