Hi Jerome, I'm a RE Agent, as well as own and manage three rental properties in the Cleveland area.

Have more open houses to help minimize having to pay a realtor on the selling end Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

In our case, we are in a market with lots of young professionals and military (engineers, accountants, service members).

VRBO host "service" is closed.

A licensed agent can start sending you houses from the MLS and a Wholesaler can help send off market deals to you.Since you mentioned the BRRRR method it sounds like you will be financing the deal.

Side note: At one of my apartment buildings in Cleveland we had this chick running a full on brothel out of her unit.

TOPA is neither a big deal for a buyer or seller if you are working with an agent and title company with extensive TOPA experience.

Stop looking online and find an investor-friendly agent in your target area.

@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.  

pretty comprehensive report. i like that they give you the full background info just not on 1 alias but on all that match for that name.
