White is also still popular in flips due to buyers being able to change it easier upon closing or if lighting is poor and the space needs to be brightened up.  

Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, etc.A word of warning: don't invest in a market unless you know there is a good PM to handle your property.

He has had ~$1K worth of tools and material stolen, even after I warned him not to leave things there.The timeline has shifted over and over again.

However, for me, I would do NOTHING except issue them a lease violation warning and use their uncorrected lease violation as another valid reason to evict them.

Not meant for doom and gloom but meant to shed light on our profession.

You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

Can you throw some light on the market there when it comes to cash flow and appreciation.

what's tough about that is that deal - something that just needs light cosmetics, but is priced below market - doesn't really exist right now. 

I suspect the jobs market and economic data is going to come to light after the election which will show the economy is not as good as we thought and potentially provide a little more relief on interest rates.

Thanks for sharing your story on having the right pm, def shed some positive light.
