Hi Jeremy,How could you tell this was a "deal", even though it was listed on the open-market via MLS? 

Overall, if you aren't meeting the 1% rule, I wouldn't do it, but, of course, there are exceptions to the rule.It’s hard to find 1% deals anywhere in current market conditions.

Columbus, OH is a great market for small MFHs!

You should have a clause in the lease (and even in your marketing) that says you are renting the house "as is" and it is tenant's responsibility to ensure it meets their needs.2.

If you are in just one market, I highly advice getting access to the MLS for better data for house prices.

From there you can develop a strategy with mostly cash flow that can help pay down your loans or invest in an appreciation market and buy and hold for a few years and pay down your student loans on the sale. 

We are planning to enter the STR/MTR market(s) in Raleigh, NC and would like to connect with current investors and operators to gain insights on building out our team (cleaning, handyman services, contractors, etc.).

I'm new to real estate investing and was curious what kind of IRRs are realistic to find in the current market?

Hey @Mario Cuartas glad you and your family are thinking creatively, that is definitely what it takes in this market to be successful.Unfortunately from my knowledge, this idea is much, much more difficult than you anticipate.

What is your favorite metric (CoC, IRR, ROI, etc.) you are using when comparing your real estate investments to the stock market (or other more passive investment vehicles)?
