Check with your county it is so specific for property taxation. 

Also through the MLS you can get things like median & average rents for specific areas plus DOM stats although I'm unsure about price to rent ratios.

Types of fees:Application fees:  Above info is spot on, the only advice I would give is that higher fees means less applicants (we decided not to charge at all when we self managed, it did not add up to very much each year) and if it is non-refundable there are likely tenant-landlord laws about what you have to disclose about your criteria before they apply.Late rent: If rent is late, there is an exra fee. 

Much appreciated.We are seeking a tax professional who can help us locally, as well as, be available virtually with specific investing questions and guidance.

You'll want to be specific about what type of property you are looking for and(after you do some research and maybe even visit) where you want to invest.  

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

I live in the Northern Illinois region, specifically Lake County and I am looking for help with finding a real estate agent and also any financing advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone list particular debt limits (like, "no debt in excess of $1000 that isn't in a payment plan") as part of their screening criteria?

Cleveland is what I focus in, it's great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone upwards of 2-4x in the last 5-10 years.Check out Zillow hottest housing market of 2024: https://www.axios.com/2024/01/10/zillow-ranking-hottest-real...
