Property is a C class area, so I am concerned about the quality of tenant I will get but I am close to Ohio State University, a hospital, and short north/downtown columbus so I am hoping as long as I screen tenants I can find some promising people.

After searching and asking everyone I found the best way is to find a small time partner do it all.

I am retired and working on career #2.

For all you know they’ll find clogged filters (tenant’s fault if you made them responsible in lease, yours if you did not.), or low/missing Freon.

I provide/manage the funding, books, oversee the budget and manage cash flow.We do divide the the responsibility of finding deals and of course, we both have to agree on the numbers before we make a move.  

Not worth wasting your time finding someone unemployed unless they have an extensive resume.

If you can find a 4 family in MA with centralized heat (oil or gas) and knob and tube wiring you could get $60,000 from mass save for your project plus a bunch of free stuff.

Try to find ways to hide it.Talk to law enforcement and see if it violates the City code.

After having some difficulty finding qualified tenants who could afford the rent, a highly qualified tenant approached me asking to lease one of the houses using an STR arbitrage model. 

@Sandeep Dhall we are releasing a v2 of our list builder in the next month that will offer many more advanced filters in the list builder and a new look so you can search by individual properties and run comps.For MLS - yes, you are going to find data here that is not 100% accurate.
