I currently invest here in Columbus, Ohio and I have two duplexes over here that are cash-flowing well.

I have a smart lock on the front and back door.However, most of my properties have security doors on as well (my STR does not) and it just isn't possible to have smart locks on these.

By providing this a quality product with managed expectations and professional management oversite, this property continues to cash flow well and consistently.

My other units continue to do very well with steady rate increases over the last few years.
