It sounds cheesy, but the best way to prepare is to work with a friend or two and role-play.

She is doing this I think on the side, outside of her main role as a real estate agent (buying/selling).

Toledo pretty much offers the same, if you're set on that city connect with @Engelo Rumora Thanks for the plug mate,Hi Ken,We probably won't be able to assist as we offer turnkey and only to cash buyers.Our lowest entry point is $65,000 and that buys a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that will rent for around $800pm.Plus, I'm pissed of with investors and lately and keeping all deals for myself heheI think you are on the right track with the 43607, 43612 and 43613 zip code.I encourage you to take a look at 43609 and select areas of 43610 and 43620.BRRR out of state is a recipe for disaster but since you are in Michigan, it isn't too bad I guess.Even being as close as you are and even if you lived in Toledo, I would always advise to get professional property management.An investors role is just that, to be an "investor".Elevate and delegate...Sure, you can probably manage 1,2 or 10 properties but that can eventually turn into a full time job.IMO, you should focus on scaling as in finding deals, raising capital, buying more properties, growing your portfolio, etc...And not dealing with tenants and toilets.Wishing you much success

The long term play would be to pivot to MTR/LTF afterwards.

Despite initially planning for renovations, severe foundation issues led us to pivot quickly.
