Here is an update on a black couple who, after "whitewashing" their home, saw an almost $300K increase in the appraised value of their home: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/realestate/racial-bias-ap... maybe we should have a law or option that we can select our own appraisal , just like we can select our own realtor so all these stupid problem is gone.

But Harrison wasn't one of the location options. 

I’ll be looking into that option more.  

It's a legit option for those who don't have the capital to get into the game on their own.

So your options are limited to portfolio loans an CMBS.

@Samson OniStessa and Baseline are good options. 

A home warranty can be an excellent option to protect your home investment.

Additionally, with affordability and a median home price below the national average, Cleveland stands out as an attractive option for investors seeking a promising return.

If option 3 is not your choice, how are you running your properties and what methods are you using?

If not, will seek to leave hopefully in a year or so (also may wait to collect the full sign-on bonus).
