I'm shopping insurance again this year because my first renewal is in May and Farmers is raising the cost by 30%.

Shop with an experienced investment focused broker to get multiple quoted terms!

Reason being, if you're shopping for a new PM, a nicer property with less of a hassle on maintenance will open that pool up.

Hopefully someone from the area can chime in but shopping quotes from reputable and well rated or referred PMs will illustrate a better picture for you.

Currently, Tremont and Ohio City are top destinations due to their walkability to shops and restaurants.Keep in mind that if you get approval, you can't have more than 15% of STRs in a building.

For a shopping center, banks would require center to be atleast 50% pre-leased before they give you construction loan.

I shop.

Offer free breakfast at my friend’s restaurant next door before the guests begin the downtown walking/shopping.

From there, narrow down your budget range and then start shopping more seriously.

Don't constantly shop and look at it just like a transaction.
