@Chris Jurgens the values you see on line are not a realistic way to assess what the property is worth in Dayton. 

As Wayne said, you can find a good bit of info online, and by talking to the building dept to see if there are any open cases.

Appraisers are prohibited from advocating so their opinions are as objective as you can get in this highly subjective field.

You can look online and see if it is listed yet, until it is there is not much you can do.

The objective of the partnership would be to flip and sell in the short term and potentially look for buy and hold properties down the road.

You can usually look online at local real estate agencies websites to view what is for sale in your area or get in touch with a local real estate agent who would be able to help.  

This inspection went well and besides a few things, that I asked for on my inspection objection, mostly everything seemed to be OK.I went ahead and closed without the seller having completed all of the inspection objection items (my second mistake).

Given that my husband and I used the condo sporadically, this man was not used to having anyone above him and he has objected to what sounds like normal noise in a residential building.

Con: They reduce my monthly cash flow (6 - 10%)Manage it myself:Pro: My cash flow is increased (at expense of time)Pro: Online tools make it easier for me to remotely manageCon: Time-consuming, especially during the leasing processHow to find a good property manager / leasing agentI go online and get reviews and quotes (Yelp, Thumbtack)I ask for 3 referrals or reach out to those people (note: I also ask tenants, since I want to make sure my tenants are happy and treated well)I ask what online tools and processes they use (for example, if they don't have an option to collect rent online ... then they seem pretty inefficient to me) I ask about transparency -- will they provide me with the background check, lease agreements, etc.?

I just researched online for whats required for my states leases and added those provisions onto the lease that Brandon provides.I am NOT a lawyer
