You need to carry a special type of health insurance, not the traditional kind.

Keep in mind that I am selling them as affordable fixer uppers and usually only address any health, safety, and functionality issues.

I am looking, too.  The

This makes sense, too. The

I am interested in MTR for my properties in Akron, OH as one is walking distance to Summa Health Systems Hospital there and the other is a 15 minute drive.

There is much to learn: pricing, marketing, screening, contract law, lease enforcement, late/unpaid rent, property abandonment, squatters, maintenance, tenant neglect or abuse, communication, and 417 other things.Buying a decent property but not managing it well can impact your finances, marriage, sanity, physical health, and desire to invest.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

It has caused problems not just with housing, but health care.

That is a health code violation.

If you don't have the additional mental bandwidth, can't deal with stress in healthful way or do not have much time to commit atleast 14 months of focus then do not build.
