I feel like in the long term, I want to live in the city in the south where I went to college: two of my friends are currently there, and it would be very nice to be around young and diverse people again near the college campus.

I can be bias but I would pick Columbus vs anywhere else in Ohio :-) I'm happy to jump on a zoom with you to provide you with Columbus investment landscape so you can compare with your Akron properties before you make decisions.

Historically, San Diego has always appreciated, and over time, seems that will only continue due to being land-locked, diverse jobs sectors, strong military presence, and desirable quality of life.

We replaced the roof, HVAC, duct work, water heater, kitchen appliances, kitchen cabinets, floors, renovated both bathrooms, light fixtures, paint, major landscaping, and much more.

I am currently fixing/renovating the home, mostly DIY and mostly small/medium scale projects (kitchen reflooring, expanding shower in bathroom, landscaping), in an attempt to increase its value and make it “Rent Ready”.

complete renovation , kitchen , flooring , bathrooms , landscaping , painting and a luxurious accent wall and accessories throughout the house What was the outcome?

To be completed...We will be face-lifting the exterior/landscaping, renovating the kitchen, renovating the basement (including adding a half bath).

Other than cleaning fees, you should make sure you factor in higher insurance rates that cover STRs, utilities, internet, consumables (toilet paper, soap, etc), landscaping, snow removal, linen replacement.

Exterior paint, refinished floors, some millwork, contemporary lighting and plumbing fixtures, paint, gut kitchens and bathrooms, landscape/hardscape work, finished basement.

Large markets with diverse jobs and culture.
