It’s well over 20 years old? 

So many think running a job is easy, well it's not, especially in Cleveland.

New plumbing, electrical, well, - shouldn't have any cap x expenses for a while!

Local banks don’t or won’t cross multiple state lines.

At the top of your screen you will find a section called "Build your Team" There, you can connect with property managers, realtors, lenders, and CPAs that specialize in real estate, and you will find Cincinnati well represented with highly reviewed professionals, by members of BiggerPockets, who are eager to compete for your business. 

I think the other thing that will keep some folks in the urban core is because well thats where their family is and they are not going to move ..

But to say baseless things about Cleveland is well, ,,, You moved TO Columbus from FL, odd.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING A GC WALK the property with you...if the thought is even crossing your mind then the answer is yes.Up here in Chicago we charge a fee of $197 to walk properties a provide a page report with ball park estimation.With contractors especially you get what you pay for, so find SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR TIME IS WORTH SOMETHING! 

If a holiday falls I the 1st I don't ding the people when it shows on the 2nd but in general it works well for me.

@Mason Peterson there are a lot out there, we use Buildium and there is appfolio that I have heard great things about as well.
