I will begin by examining operating costs.Operating CostsBelow is a comparison of income taxes, insurance, and property taxes for Ohio and Florida, along with Nevada as a reference point.Sources:State average insurance costState average property taxState Income TaxTo put this in perspective, below is the annual overhead cost for a $400,000 property.To achieve the same net cash flow, a property in Columbus would have to generate almost $5,000 ($8447 - $3544) more in annual rent than one in Las Vegas due to higher operating costs.Rent ControlRent control can prevent you from increasing your rent to keep pace with inflation, limit your ability to select the best tenant, or remove a non-performing tenant cost-effectively and expeditiously.

It's not a fair apples to apples comparison. 

And for a really fun contrast and comparison, the condos and single families there in San Fran can equal a fairly large midwest apartment complex!

Easy comparison, 2 to 5 years of investing intentionally for cash flow and be free of W2 OR 20 to 30 years of investing for appreciation while working W2?

My dilemma is, it is a 1 year lease, the tenant pays relatively on time, but high maintenance orders in comparison to the others. 

In comparison to many of the U.S.A. markets - especially along the rust belt - that's not a high return and 15%+ is obtainable.BTW:  The house will not always be fully occupied and you will also have bad debts and evictions, so unless you know the area vacancy rates well, better to be conservative.As for your PM costs, I've never encountered a PM fee below 7% unless you are dealing with a large portfolio.

Have also heard that the vinyl holds up well, but not the adhesive.  2)  Below I've tried to paste my pictures of from some of the shopping and cost comparison from yesterday. 

You'll find countless stories here on BP of turnkey ops that sound amazing, even have podcasts and a loyal following, but require huge waiting lists just to schedule a call, only accept cash payments, have operations that pale in comparison to their ads when investors actually visit or, amazingly, don't even have offices in the markets in which they purport to be experts.

One tool I've been using is rentometer.com for area rental comparisons.

Before getting it I would see houses come up all the time that I wanted to see - not even necessarily that I was interested in buying, but I wanted to see LOTS of houses as comparisons for instance - but it was a hassle to make an appt with an agent to see all of them.
