Columbus is an absolute goldmine right now - it's got robust job growth, a booming tech and university scene, and consistent strong rental demand. 

I recommend having a consistent growth mindset to keep building and expanding your portfolio.

I've tried many other personal finance tools and consistently had problems staying connected, so they're the exception.

I added a new software platform, got rid of all abandoned vehicles, raised rents, seal-coated and striped parking lot, took out loads and loads of trash, got the phone number working and started marketing to local community groups.

Renting to a tenant with a housing voucher can be a stable option since the government covers a significant portion of the rent, ensuring you’ll get paid consistently for that part.

STR and MTR income can't be used unless you've had it consistently for I believe 2 years.

While this amount of evictions seems higher than normal, even for a rough area, in general low end areas = fewer qualified tenants = more tenant fraud and more consistent evictions.

Sending a personalized greeting to guests when they book, answering their questions, programming lock codes, logging new bookings in my records and notifying my cleaners of them and any requests for early check in, paying cleaners monthly, ordering supplies, updating my listing descriptions about once a week even if it's just a sentence here or there (helps with rankings on the platforms, esp.

Tenant has been making consistent payments so far so that's not the issue.

Furnished common area, furnished each bedroom with a queen bed, a dresser, a desk and a chair, then we listed on every platform that I can list and I paid every platform for their premium listing.
