There are slight Regional variations in labor prices, but it's not as large a discrepancy as people think.

I know there are many strategies/tactics people have used... 

From what I could tell, only 2 people worked there and if something happened over a weekend, you wouldn't get a response until Monday.  

Your situation is a little more complex than most people and I highly suggest you consult an attorney. 

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

@Nicholas Nakamurain order to be successful, you will need to build a network on the ground in Ohio with people you know and trust. buying a random property on the MLS in unknown condition based on other people looking at it, and putting it under management with people you have never met, will not work, and you will lose money.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...so - what's your plan? 

Though I have purchased some with a mix where 330+ days a year, people parked in the driveway and the street except when there were snow bans, but there was enough room to fit everyone in the driveway/parking lot, and that was a hassle to deal with some days. 

How would you like to be a tenant waiting on a repair because the owner wants 3 bids for everything and not only will that delay the repairs, but you'll have 3 people coming through your home everytime you make a maintenance request?
