Hi YehudaThis forum is very self-management heavy with some exceptions of full service Property Managers like myself. 

I think it depends on the price range/caliber of your listing as well as the competitiveness of the market you are in. 

Hi, yes all of those areas definitely great areas to invest in real estate my clients would agree also, Ohio has a competitive market.

Have you checked out your competition in the neighborhood to see what their places look like, and what amenities they offer?

Based on your timeline I assume this not a heavy renovation but that's just a guess and your timeline could be wishful thinking...

You probably also have an opportunity to trim some fat on your PM fees if you still want to outsource the management because that's heavy.

Then look at some of the competition to see what your property needs to offer in order to be competitive.

As a mortgage broker in CA, I've worked with Easy Street over the last few years and they have their certain box they are competitive in, but overall, they're okay.
