Considering thousands of properties were built before 1978, I imagine the first year will be rocky.

Quote from @Neal Schadler: I have several properties in Cleveland and the surrounding areas.

I have been talking with a few other real estate investors, some suggest to create a website to funnel potential tenants, setting up an automation phone line, and a callers list for screened tenants.currently have two rental properties.

My first purchase, first property, I had a great realtor.

It's a free country, you can run your business how you see fit:)That doesn't really work for self-managing property owners or what investors want from the PMCs they hire.So, yes we find solid contractors at Home Depots on Saturday mornings.When's the last time you've been at a Home Depot during that time period?

I would make improvements to the property only when doing so would cost less than the value added to the property.

JimGo to the city’s assessor’s website and look up the property record.  

@John Paul Palace their bggest challenge is finding competent PMCs to recommend to their clients.That's what most of the negative feedback here on BP is about them - which is UNFAIR as they're selling a rental property, NOT PMC services.Recommend you do your own due diligence on PMCs before just going with their recommendation.

With proactive planning, they should be able to close on replacement properties within the 180-day period.

The property sold for $154,900 on 2/7/25, delivering a successful outcome thanks to strategic updates and efficient project management.
