BTW, the rental property mentioned is a standard one year lease type apartment just like mine which has been sitting for 6 months and, although I have had crazy number of submitted applications, they have all been way too high risk. 

So you're giving advice for free and not charging for schooling people?

I can require a damage deposit or rental agreement on there too, but I don't require a damage deposit for previous good guests.  

I’m curious about something I’ve seen come up repeatedly, and I’d love to get insight from those of you who currently own or are considering buying in this market (or similar Midwest markets).What is the biggest challenge you’ve experienced or you expect to experience when managing rentals in Cleveland from out of state?

In both my pet units and non pet units that have an ESA, I charge tenants to place unit in animal free state at move out (duct cleaning and filter replacements, pet allergies are common).if a tenant has a legit ESA, I would prefer them to rent one of my pet friendly units (which have private yard) but I do not get to make the rules.  

The Triangle is one of the strongest appreciation markets in the Southeast, but cash flow here can be tight unless you get creative (house hack, short-term, or mid-term rentals).

I did an ADU and pulled the permits for the ADU, then handed them over to the GC with the GC being the contact and licensed person in charge/contact. 

I am currently paying 2,600 annually because the property is under my name> However they want to charge me 6,000 for liability and property insurance if I move it to my LLC.

So if you sold for $340k, you are buying a $500k rental and a $500k primary.

If you call around and lead with, "how much do you charge?
