Welcome to BP.I am sure you will find all of the resources necessary to ensure that you will have the direction to make smart real estate investment decisions.I have found the brain power on BP to be awesome and sharing culture to be genuine.My personal story is that I have been a landlord & property "flipper" for more than 30 years.

Thats just not being smart about doing business.

I 3rd the no DIY any further vote.You were smart to demo and expose everything. 

Like for instance I was charged for some smart locks etc. but the repair was never done.

I had perceived you as rather conservative with your underwriting (smart guy), well versed in real estate, which you are, so finding out about this Cleveland Heights deal came to me as a surprise.Your post is extremely valuable to many investors, it sheds light on occupancy (although it's due to asset class), city involvement, the Noble stretch, water bills in the Heights, and many more.

The road to multi-city or multi-state ownership can be filled with its own set of challenges but if done smartly can yield you vast rewards.

Anything you did that seemed smart/helpful?

You clearly aren't smart enough to understand this topic.  

(kid finds a loose outlet and gets shocked, water is too hot and kid gets burned, no anti-tip device on the stove and wild child climbing on it gets crushed, etc etc etc).

Agreed, and it is my experience that dealing with the general public, you are better off saying "I am an average Joe Schmo" than to say "I am a smart rich company owner"
