I have an investment property in California but I’m looking to invest out of state, specifically in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Midwest markets are what I prefer as well, specifically Detroit and Memphis too.

Yes some folks could argue they are the best realtor in the planet, but if one company thru efficiency process could save seller $35k, they would flock to the alternative.  

The software I'm working with is great. automation, lead gen, literally all-in-one easy to use. but it's been a hard couple of months, I'm just trying to see any cheaper alternatives.  

My specific questions are:1.

Let me know if you have any specific skip tracing questions.

What I would suggest alternatively is putting a clause in the lease that anyone above the age of 18 that's going to be living in the unit for more than 7 days has to be approved by the landlord and pass credit/background/income check etc. 

This could be dangerous ground if full disclosures were not made and state specific laws were not strictly adhered to.

Hey Sammy, In Columbus, Ohio, your rental strategy—whether it's Short-Term Rentals (STR), Medium-Term Rentals (MTR), or Long-Term Rentals (LTR)—depends on your goals and the specific property.
