Certainly not cheap, but our favourite option so far. 

After visiting several properties on a recent trip, we've narrowed it down to a 2/2.5 townhouse at Regal Oaks (with large lanai and hot tub) or a 2/2 Condo at Storey Lake. 

The only thing that's tripping me up is the "1yr hold period".

Maybe I’ll take a weekend trip down there to see the area for myself.

I'm from Seattle and my first trip out the Cleveland I did nothing but drive around for a week straight looking at neighborhoods.

The rent and ARV portion is usually what trips people up.

A relatively short trip to the local attractions, stores, etc.

I also did focus a lot of time in the Indianapolis markets, making the trip to Indianapolis 1-2 times a week to just get started.

From that point on the automation of the rest of our system can pretty comfortably guide the reservation.You can for sure cut this step out, but we've actually turned off the "Automatic Code Generator" so that we can offer a better/smarter service.Last 4 of the phone is always a great idea; as referenced the Schlage encode seems to be the BP favourite.

My point is their round trip MLS commission paid is about 2.4% (40% of 6% total)  whereas fees collected and slightly lower price are where they make up for some of the market risk.
