I could send you a handful of articles that would give you the basics and you'd be fine.I have 14-doors in Detroit and 3 of them I've placed S8 tenants in.

I have done a few things, I have rentals, I have driven for dollars, I have sent out marketing, I have knocked on a few doors, and I have flipped houses. 

My mentor owns around 800+ doors there and even he shifted his search to Columbus.

I have close to 100 doors, thus I will pick up something even if it is barely cash flowing so that my other cash flowing assets can pay down the mortgage reasonably quick.

But for daily driver and any trips along any interstate I really like mine..

I should have left at that - I listened to too many people to acquire more doors and it will "cash flow".  

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s  a marketing gimmick to get potential borrowers through the door through  weirdly worded non recourse language that is effectively recourse or by offering such terrible leverage borrowers would rather have the recourse and competitive terms. 

If you're looking at Akron, definitely look at Detroit as well.In my opinion (and I'm very biased here with 12-doors in Detroit), there's better growth potential in Detroit.

A home next door to mine is on market for $399,000 very similar to mine, just bigger. 3/1 renovated about 1300sqft.

I own 4 doors and looking to continue to add more
