The reassessment risk is real, but probably more predictable than in a rapidly developing area, like Woodlawn.  

heheI miss the Midwest's "simple" mentality of my common folks.Even tho, as you mentioned the weather can get brutal.It's always a tough gig to do deals from afar unless buying turnkey.Even then, turnkey is not worth it unless the portfolio is big.As soon as you can, move to the market you want to invest in and with time you might become "institutionalized" to it just like I did with Toledo hahaI put Ohio Cashflow on the back burner 3 years ago as I got burnt out on working with investors lolWe only sell from time to time to our existing book of business and if I like the specific investor hahaI list most deals on the MLS and once sold, I clean my hands.No need to babysit the never satisfied and disgruntled landlords expecting retirement from 1 turnkey property...Unfortunately, it is what it is and I ate $#@% for many years before I said enough is enough heheOz Realty has been the bread and butter for us and our main focus since we shifted focus.Crazy that I'm even typing this as I hated PM for many years and considered it just as the "necessary evil" in order to offer a turnkey product.Now, if I could turn back time, I'd never do turnkey and would only do PM hehe.Everything happens for a reason mate.Granted, it took 7+ years to create a lean and efficient PM machine heheI'm in Toledo every month for 7-10 days so feel free to hit me up whenever you are in town.All the best mate 🙏 @Engelo Rumora , haha, a new book would be valid for sure, as things do change fast in this world, looking forward to it.

We manage our own properties so these cut down on mental bandwidth when relisting properties. 

Especially the first time something bad happens (and something bad will happen) such as an eviction, slap leak, collapsed sewer run, new roof, etc it could be challenging to see the positive of having a cash negative rental.Make sure you are mentally prepared to supplement this property for potentially years through some difficult events.good luck

A lot of them don’t want to commit or have already mentally moved on, so they just avoid the conversation altogether.I definitely wouldn’t go knock on the door like Benjamin suggested.

He spoke on a pannel about downtown development I put together.

A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

It's the Gold Rush mentality. or better said, a Pump-n-dump.
