Hi community,I'm debating between eviction or cash for keys to get a tenant out of a property. I've bought my first turnkey property in Maple Heights, Ohio back in July that has a tenant in it already. The tenant had ...

The issue is larger than STR bans and IMO the right political approach can make a difference. 

Part of my luck I guess has been buying in strong school districts and mostly B type property, I feel I would have gotten burned more if it was C type.Agree with you on approach, I have been strict with application requirements and have a high bar on credit score, etc.

Add in institutions who are systematizing rentals and you get an even higher bid as they reach some economies of scale and are willing to accept lower yields than small investors. 

I know the 15yr rates are better, but the interest difference seems a small price to pay to gain a few hundred dollars or so per month of spending power.I too like the approach of using a HELOC on my primary, rather than a cashout, as the bill is separated off, as I don’t pay for money I’m not using, and as the LTV can be above 80%.

The numbers you shared aren't great from a cash flow standpoint (no offense) and I think if your plan is to unlock the equity you have by selling, pay off debts, and buy a multi to house hack, that would be a better long term approach then hanging on to the townhouse.

@Evan O'Brien- I'll try generalize some of the steps I take, however each person will have their own unique way of operating.I take more of a top down approach.

I am looking for landlords that self-manage their 100 doors or more residential rentals (SFH, duplex, triplex, quad, 10 units or less) to discover better ways to manage, automate, and better systematize the process.

If so, how would you recommend I approach certain real estate agents if I come across a good deal and a have a buyer ready to purchase for a lower price?

The simpler and more systematized the better!
