The only issue is that they're usually clumped together, meaning a lot of small time landlords dictate how the neighborhood develops, and naturally most renters are not going to do extra maintenance for someone else's property.

One of my issues is I am not sure what the neighborhoods are like at the properties I find on-line.  

That language is in there for a reason and the verbiage is very critical to how an issue would be handled. 

The issue is housing, housing is 1/3 of CPI and inflation is floating at or above 3.

Renovations are fully permitted & city inspected.

Since I am doing the work, I have no quality issues and believe in doing the job right.

If the situation permits, consider secret-shopping some of the rentals to get a good idea of how yours compares.

I used to use Cozy.co as a payment and issue reporting portal for my tenants, but I didn’t like what apartments.com did with it when they bought them out.Before I had my real estate license, I’d only post my rentals to Zillow.  

Also important to look into the licensing and insurance requirements to pull permits.

Does that really help with my 2 main issues?
