My wife are in escrow on our first rental property purchase (in the Columbus, Ohio market) and are underway with inspection, finalizing the loan, getting quotes on homeowners insurance, interviewing property managers, etc.

- Will I have a dedicated property manager or rotate through a team?

Good Day,I need to estimate how much the insurance will be before I purchase the property. 

We have set up filters and find some pre-foreclosure and foreclosure properties in our area which we want to look further. 

However, the buyer might click just to see "what this ad is all about" or to check if you have properties for sale.

@Jeremy Altdorfer I’ve never gotten more than 1 years worth of information and have bought some properties when they were empty with no known numbers.

It seems like a great market for that despite the property taxes.

When you invest in rental properties, you can generate consistent monthly income from tenants.

To add to this, a lot of Wholesalers or agents from New Western deal specifically with lower class Real Estate, because like Stuart mentioned it is the lowest barrier to entry and typically easier to convince sellers of that property class to sell under their conditions. 

They may seem attractive on a spreadsheet if you are chasing cash flow, but the fundamentals are not as strong and these properties are  disproportionately impacted by capex and operating costs.
