From my experience, here are a few property management companies that my clients have worked with:ERA Solutions: They have a strong presence in C-class neighborhoods.Realize Property Management: Better suited for A and B-class neighborhoods, though they do manage some C-class properties.Ohio Elite Management: Primarily focuses on B and C-class neighborhoods.

My main focus is Class B and maybe some C+ properties around NE Columbus, as well as outside 270 from the North to the east side.

I've built my business plan for 2025 to go after Cash Flow first, appreciation second, in B and C+ areas. 

My wife has been handling all the complaints that we are filing with the DA, etc.If nothing else we should all band together and file separate complaints to whoever may help us.
