Congrats Clayton,  looks like a solid deal. 

He’s solid but I’m not sure if he does routine work like you’re looking for.

This is a riskier rental and I would make sure I was being compensated appropriately above market rents but this could also be a great niche for you as many landlords would not do this and you will most likely have long term tenants as long as their business is solid.  

Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland are solid markets.

They have the most vested interest in you buying a solid deal, because they have to manage it every day.Just be careful of turnkey operators as they have a bigger vested interest in selling than managing.You might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”, since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processes

It’s because if you have found a really solid deal (that goes back to your “find it” and “analyze it” skills), then you’ll soon realize that people with money are looking for good deals to invest in.5.

Even if you're not doing rehab, and short of an appraiser, it's a solid overview of exactly what you're talking about.  

Hey Reuben,I'm biased towards Philadelphia hahaI can't say too much about New Jersey, but I am finding some solid multi families here around Philly.

The exception might be if you have stellar credit and solid W2 salary income, in which case they might be able to give you a slightly better rate. 

However, if you have solid rental criteria, and they don't meet it, you are within your rights to deny the application.
