That Cleveland program, some other cities have as well but that would be tough to nationally implement, tough to get cities to enforce it if you’re not paying for their staff.

@Dante’ Wray good luck on your journey as well.I am not qualified to give tax advice - I am an employee of a licensed management company and have no experience in self-managing any rentals, nor am I an accountant.There are many guides to self-management out there, including resources here on BiggerPockets, but there is not one formula or schedule for you to follow.
