You need to run a title search and go through it carefully before trying to buy such a property.   

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

These type of properties are typically much easier to find financing from a commercial small business lender rather than a true real estate lender - I would point your search in that direction

@Bunmi JooRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

My broker's property management company is local to the area and very familiar and comfortable with this product type if you want hands off management.

Many of the successful fund operators I have seen have 6 yrs, minimum, of company experience before moving from asset to fund.  

Looking to connect with Property Management Companies that service properties in Columbus, Ohio and/or central Ohio areas. 

Just go to any one or all of the major online real estate sales websites and utilize the filters to narrow your search parameters.If none show up, you may have to widen your search or expand the parameters.

I assume we would use a title company.

I am leaning to rent by room, given I could use the extra cash flow, and I currently work for a property management company so I have a good system in mind to use.
