Hi Jane, I am an out of state investor based in Northern Virginia and primarily buy Multi family and Single Family Homes in Cleveland.

Should i ask them both to leave and look for other family?

He is on the super lawyer list and has consulted my family for years on very complicated rental developments. 

I wanted to start this post to ask others about how they source new deals for multifamily properties and single-family homes, specifically in the southeast.

I’m being subject to what I believe to be discriminatory practices by a local government by whom has increased my tax basis by 50% and my usage of that tax basis by 20% with no evidence as to why which contradicts my inspections and appraisals and would result in a mortgage worth of taxes on a property that has been in my family for 18 years.  

Most families are smaller these days, extra bedrooms are an invitation to get UNAUTHORIZED people living in your home.

I was leaning towards purchasing a duplex or single family home to do STR.

I am a real estate broker (specializing in multi family) and an investor in the Cincinnati market. 

Many have gone like the wind, new ones pop up and will also disappear with the next breeze.Selling crap properties, in crap areas for more than they are worth and then passing on to 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes to death.It's a shame but it's been the same cycle since I started in 2012 and even longer that I remember.I feel sorry for such investors that commit so these providers but I feel even sorrier for those that try DIY BRRR from out of state.Asset classes are variable and "Potato" "Potato" lolFor example, I can almost but guarantee that my B class in Toledo for $90,000 for example is D class in Cinci.Lived in Middletown and owned a few rentals in Cinci so know the market decently.It also comes down to how someone was born and bread.I had investors come from Cali and laugh at me and my "B class" properties.They said it's Z class.Even tho my entire team lives in the area and so did I for 10+ years.No silver spoon in my mouth growing up and I wouldn't sacrifice my families safety in a so called "Z class" area.But we are all different, right?
