@Marcus Auerbach - I didn't mention in my initial post that the other tenant in this duplex, whom shares a yard, complains about the dog waste and cigarette butts on a regular basis, a few times weekly.

@Antoine Martel @Steven Aviram @Federico Gutierrez @Nicole Heasley  @Katie HaneyTo whoever mentioned stay out of the suburbs... while I completely respect your opinion, I believe you are more referring to *mostly* Cleveland Heights & Shaker Heights..

At their age they need to place it in a secure conservative income fund.

Sellers will have a variety of reasons to not use a realtor like others have mentioned.

Having 5 properties at your age is nothing to sneeze at! 

That will be a correct opinion from a pro.As mentioned before, web sources such Neighbourhoodscout want 30 bucks a month, but it is well worth if you are going to own a house.

I know Jay mentioned getting into commercial level apartments (which would be 5+ units), but I would recommend keeping your first investment property at the residential level.

Or like you me mentioned, they redeem and all you get is some interested paid back.

Only allow inspection after an accepted offer with a healthy emd  If you have a lot of interest you can schedule 1 open house for a 2 hour window with registered buyers As mentioned an agent would probably be better but if your firm and diligent you can get it sold 

Account Closed mentioned.
