My numbers for cheap rust-belt Ohio rentals
Here are my numbers (rounded) for the first three quarters. It's for 11 units in rundown-rust-belt Ohio. I know I could be making more money, if I did not continue to invest in the houses. My plan is to continue to invest majority of my profits back into the portfolio in some way.
I thought this data would be useful to others who are thinking about buying cheap houses that seem to always need work, in distressed areas. When the 50% rule or the 2% rule fail, to capture the situation, there's data!

What part of Ohio is this for?
Would you be willing to provide more detailed breakdown on your various expense numbers? Specifically, do these expense numbers include any outlay for debt service?
