I encourage value-add plays, strongly. 

The property management team is encouraging me to do this, but no rent increase for 6 years sounds questionable to me.

Hi Jimmy,Thanks so much for the warm welcome and encouragement!

Hi Shawn - thank you for the encouragement.

Homeless people can re enter society, but they have to want it.

I encourage having direct conversations with your agent about this, and nurture that relationship.

I'd encourage you to first decide whether you'd rather invest actively (a side hustle real estate investing business) or passively (funding an investment and being done with it). 

— I prefer RUBS because it:— encourages tenants to conserve water and report leaks quickly,— adjusts automatically when utility rates change, and— keeps my base rent lower in online listings, which helps with marketing.If anyone has firsthand experience or can point me to an official Euclid or Cuyahoga County source on this, I’d really appreciate it.Thanks in advance!

I appreciate the encouraging words.

It’s worth reviewing the HOA’s financials and bylaws closely before moving forward, and running the numbers with those costs in mind.I would encourage you to approach it with caution, especially if your goal is long-term portfolio growth.
