Since you're already in Ohio, definitely keep an eye on Columbus if you decide to expand—I'm investing here and it’s been super solid with strong population and job growth and big companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, LG and more investing here, plus properties still in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow well.

As both a landlord and a local investor in Boca Raton, I’ve seen how deposit disputes and inconsistent inspections can cause real frustration for both owners and tenants.That’s why I started offering independent, photo-verified move-in/out documentation services for landlords, property managers, and short-term rental hosts.We provide:Neutral, third-party documentation (so owners stay compliant and protected)Flat-fee inspections starting at $9924–48 hr turnaround with photo/video reportsOptional cleaning or repair coordination add-onsCurious if others here are doing this or outsourcing similar work?

Protect yourself with contingencies, clear EMD terms, and attorney-reviewed templates, then mirror your end buyer’s contract to keep friction low and speed high.

Many people suggest LLCs for legal protection.
