The HOA can decide to do a special project or make a short 3 story elevator more hurricane proof ($800000) or have issues after a hurricane and then you are definitely not ahead of the game.Please connect with me and I can maybe point you in a better direction.

Not the intention, just being very direct here: I am not going to show those numbers for 2 reasons.1) if I did ( and I would blow you away if I did), it would only cause people to misunderstand what I am trying to teach and 2) I don't have to show you or anyone anything.

The biggest employer shut down about a year ago and 3  hurricanes (2 major) hit directly in the last year.

You CAN NOT contact the listing agent directly from Zillow, but you can look them up and Google them.

Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.  

Hey has anybody ordered windows direct from China?

Even if one tenant is responsible for rent payments, the others will live there and impact your liability as a landlord.Accountability:Requiring all adults to apply and sign the lease holds everyone legally responsible for the terms.

However, he asked me to sign a one-year Exclusive Right to Represent agreement, as presented to him by his brokerage.His interpretation is that it applies only when he materially assists me, but I think the boilerplate brokerage language he was given reads much more broadly:"If during the term of this Agreement Buyer enters into a contract for the purchase of Property through the services or efforts of the Broker or Buyer’s Brokerage Firm, or by or through any other persons during the term of this Agreement" (emphasis mine).My concern is that, under my interpretation, if a fellow real estate investor wants to unload a property or if I get pointed to an opportunity by a former agent, colleague, or friend, this agreement could create an obstacle to moving forward with the deal.In the end, I didn’t sign.

To be direct, I give this same advice to investors who ultimately realize they want to be passive.  

If not in Cleveland direct, are there any other Ohio markets which may have more cash flowing inventory?
