I never received a single response from an actual property owner — just self-promotions from PMCs or people affiliated with PMCs.

Quote from @Karl Kauper: Good morning- Just “boosting” this thread this morning in hopes of more feedback from property owners in the Cleveland area.

So many people gloss over properties before truly evaluating their pro forma rent.Also, I think it's a great point about this strategy working in higher rent/gentrification areas of Chicago..it seems counterintuitive.

We market the property as available now, meaning that it doesn't have to be repaired and/or it is vacant.

@Dennis Gallagheri don't really use any rules anymore, i just evaluate the actual expenses on actual properties. 

Single homes, duplexes and multi-family property is what I'm looking for. 

Actual money, measured in dollars.

First things first, when assessing property managers, it is crucial to prioritize their ability to collect rent and manage delinquencies.

Section 8 demand in Cleveland is through the roof, but unfortunately they don't actually pay that amount. 

-They failed to realize the property had washer/dryer hookups.
