I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

I bet Walmart isn't even at less than 1% net, why isn't everyone flipping out that Walmart is "colluding" for higher prices on product's in it's stores.

It might work for LTRs but not for STRs.Your best bet is to keep a good maintenance fund ready to go to cover repairs.The most important thing is regular maintenance.

Would be happy to chat to go into more details about subdivisons.All in all, I think a house hack in a good area of town is a great bet to get started.

Further, there are a wide spectrum of lenders that can range from very good to very bad among lenders that brand themselves as "Private Money" "Hard Money" or "Private Lenders"Your best bet is likely to follow reviews and like you've been doing now with partnerships that you trust, but your instinct is right to have relationships with multiple lenders and options. 

That’s the best bet.

If I'm on a job for some reason; and there's something that needs done that needs some muscle, you can bet I'm not opposed to asking a man for help. 

I've found some lenders that will go up to 80% sometimes, but I think your best bet might be a government-backed loan if you want such a high LTV ratio.

Your best bet would be to take a look at a combination of cash outs / or maybe just one in order to obtain your proceeds for the new purchase.

But I’ll bet  you’ve developed a great “feel” for when to “work” with a tenant and when to get “tough”
