@James Wise  has some really good content on managing in cleveland..

I've got an agent who sends me deals, some of which are off-market, contractors who can do the work, a hard-money lender who seems to offer good terms, and a property management team I trust.

Hi Ertha,We have been flipping in Toledo since 2014.One of the first companies to do as many deals as we have 👍We get a lot of deals from wholesalers, disposition managers and believe it or not Craigslist.I feel like there is always a deal to be found on Craigslist.You have to have feet on the ground to inspect, be quick and close with cash.The good one's don't last long.Thus the importance of establishing the right people on the ground before investing in a specific market.Wishing you much success

Property management (if we decide to hold onto the property)If I were to sell the lot, what would be a fair price for me, considering that I can subdivide it into 4 lots?

Are you using appraisal management companies ? 

I’ve done all the research on the front end of how real estate works (like running numbers, knowing loans, and the process of buying the home) but none when it comes to managing it with tenants.

I knew it would rent well, have low vacancy, and be easy to manage (again, great location). 5.

It is a slow way to manage a project, but it works.You could sell off some of the lots, before or after horizontal construction is competed.   

Planning to self-manage remotely / family in town close by in case of immediate action.

If a management company has unlicensed Leasing Agents and/or Assistant Managers for at least 2 years without any training and then gets them a leasing license does that cover the time they operated without a license?
