        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.

        Attitudes about employment, diet and lifestyle choices are often dependent on cultural norms and there is plenty I'm willing to blame the govt for but what my kids ate or watched aren't two of them.

        And then on top of it, Lewis County where it is located, started taxing STRs differently when it came to property taxes which ate into the small profit we were making.
