Homes are naturally big so the sq footage adds up. 

Apartments- New kitchen layout, moved laundry into each unit, updated bathrooms, new windows (curb appeal), updated paint and flooring, turned the laundry room into the 12 unit.AirBNB- changed usage on the main level from office to 2 unit AirBNB.Office building- removed drop ceilings to add 3 foot ceiling height to make the space seem larger with more natural light.

Refer to Rules #1 and 2.The time and effort to codify procedures should be completed before the lease is presented to the tenant to sign.

I learned the importance of following procedure early on, and have seen that getting away from that can lead to bad things happening.I was in the Air Force for most of my career and went through flight training.

I see heightened risks with STRs (increased regulation, additional taxes, far more sensitive to recessions and natural disasters), but I guess that's part of the reason you're seeing good returns.I don't know what selling platforms exist for STRs.

Naturally I received a lot of disconnects, wrong numbers, etc hence my question.1.

They are not difficult to work with as long as you don't try to make them change their procedures to fit your lack of experience.You missed the boat by a few years if you are wanting to specialize in short sales.

Hi Adam,Globally speaking: How many houses have you prepped and rented in Cleveland to Clevelanders vs how many have they.You hired and are paying for their expertise as well as their labor.You may think they are railroading your money (maybe they are--it happens), but other PM's in here in that market seem to think what's bugging you is SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).This business requires unforeseen cash outlays from time to time--sometimes way in excess of $550--like a new roof that blew off in a storm.Maybe, make more calls and talk more to the manager to keep a heads up on whats happening (at least at first) when you are bringing the unit online.Did you ask the manager on the phone, where in the contract it allows them to bill out the over $550 (???)

It's true these numbers can be achieved in Cleveland but Cleveland is a very tough market to invest in if you don't have an in depth knowledge on the local economy and things of that nature.

Who would have thought one would encounter so much nature out in nature?
