We need someone reliable as we are busy with our daily jobs and other investments.

For the smaller stuff, I'd recommend 'The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume I' by Brandon Turner. 

Your move from Florida to invest in Columbus speaks volume about the potential in that market.

Meanwhile  they completely ignore the action items that should be implemented on a daily basis to greatly reduce the claims from arising in the first place and fail to take the steps that properly prepare for when the claims arise.  

The videos they send to you daily seem very convincing.

Lowering prices on slower days can fill in the gaps, and it’s also worth setting longer minimum stays in advance to mitigate low booking volume over time.In my experience, mid-week travelers are usually on the road for work—client meetings, interviews, conferences, that sort of thing.

So while local wages are a factor in home prices, local buyers only account for ~14% of transaction volume.

I am not high volume and I only take on one or so at a time..

I can see more agents finding someone like me that partners on fix and flip and just buy their own deals and cut the investor out of the equation. since they are doing all the work for small fee especially in low value markets they can now pick up the profit on the deal along with listing commish and basically do the same thing.. they can cut down on volume and make more money .

Group meetups are not too often and I would love to be around people on a daily basis.
