Hello investors,I have two long term sfh in Cleveland and considering purchase a third one for short term rental.Anyone with experience operating short term rental near hospitals in Cleveland for traveling nurses/ staff /patients that can provide a feedback? 

We haven't found very many legit 100% financing options especially for someone without experience.

I had some experience with real estate in the past with a few rental properties and really would like to start doing something real estate related full time but don't know what.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

If I saved for 5 years to buy one 250,000 home in cash, I sacrificed the opportunity to pursue more deals. sacrificing 5 years of appreciation and experience in real estate.

I have a realtor in the area but I'm not sure of her experience in the STR world.

Would love some advice if anyone has any experience in this.
