Locks are there to keep honest people out. 

So if you are self managing your property and it’s under an LLC and you lock the doors and do not give them access - guess what - the tenant does not sue the LLC fairy - they sue the LLC and the person who committed the act.

Focusing on neighborhoods with job hubs or easy access to transit may provide reliable resale potential.

With strong demand and guaranteed, government-backed rent, Columbus is an excellent choice for investors seeking reliable cash flow.

The only way to ensure a reliable rental income is by having a dependable tenant occupy the property.

For example, your door lock, your t.v.'

As an alternative you could look for a walk-out, lock-off basement and add a small kitchen/kitchenette down there to have your own space away from your housemates.

That way you would be ready and when rates hit your target mark, you can lock it in and close right away.  

Therefore, you should buy properties that attract the segment with the highest concentration of reliable people.Each property attracts only a single tenant segment because its characteristics match only one segment's housing requirements.
