You want to study what other investors and the builders are doing so you know what colors, features, styes etc are popular in your area. next is to learn how to get deals direct from the sellers and the MLS as well.

I found a real estate agent in my city who seems to have nothing but glowing reviews and is really popular in the city.

Your property management team will know rent prices, rent turn over, average time to get a tenant in the door, deal with background checks and monthly payments, ensure the house is maintained by the tennant and deal with any other surface level issues that may arise. 

if youre not currently aware of what's going on with treia, i recently received an email about this: https://www.savetreia.com/lear...the area is pretty popular with other people with the similar goals so it might be hard

SFRs in Euclid and Cleveland Heights seem to be the most popular right now, at least from what I have seen.
