I am also in the cincy market I will send you a connection request.

Looking ahead to my next project, do you have any advice or resources for finding off market deals? 

If you had a bit more capital, say $80,000 - $100,000, you could start doing BRRRR's in markets like Detroit (this is what I do).

LA didn't have as much of an upswing in home values over the last ten years compared to the other areas but I also don't want to buy at the top of the market (which is San Diego right now, although may be doubtful it decreases - some places up 110%).

Yet, as I closely monitor the current housing market, I realize that stability and thorough due diligence are paramount before taking ownership.

It’s highly passive and there not much to do other than network and marketing.

I'm eager to learn from your experiences—what strategies or processes do you use to determine expense figures in your market?

As a long-time high-level Rentlinx.com user, the journey since Rentlinx.com removed its marketing offering roll it into AppFolio has been an absolute nightmare!

Make sure that the market there makes sense for your goals to invest.

This just might be my opinion but at this point even if you're out one months rent which definitely sucks it may just be easier to start showings.I don't know what the L/T laws are in your county/state but perhaps send a notice to the emergency contact with something to the effect of pay or quit with an option for a release out of the lease and be done with it. turn over this unit and get it out on the market again.
