Hello colleagues,The fire Marshall recently conducted a review of an 8 unit, 3 storied old building in Palo Alto, CA  that I manage.He has specifically called out for several corrections.

Hey @Sharad Bagri,For cash-flowing small multifamily rentals in Columbus and Dayton, consider these areas:In Columbus:* Northland: Diverse community with solid investment potential.* Southeast Columbus: Dense suburban feel, popular with families and young professionals.* Old North Columbus: Urban-suburban mix, appealing to young professionals.In Dayton:* Patterson Park: Well-maintained with a strong community vibe.* Northridge Estates: Suburban area with various amenities, ideal for renters.* Walnut Hills: Quiet and community-oriented, great for rental stability.Areas to Approach with Caution:* Columbus: Some sections of Hilltop and Linden due to higher crime rates.* Dayton: Certain parts of West Dayton, which face economic challenges.Focusing on due diligence in these neighborhoods can help you identify stable, cash-flowing opportunities.

Occupancy has remained strong and PadSplit is hitting new booking records regularly.Here are some articles to review in the meantime:1. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/how-affordable-...2. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/why-padsplit-is...

Now, each lease will be unique, so you can't apply this across all commercial leases, but commonly, LL is responsible for exterior and structural components, while tenant is reponsible for any interior items.How to best explain this: honestly, I would request the tenants have their own legal counsel review their respective leases.  

I start off all my rentals as STR to build up reviews and then covert them to midterm.

Customer reviews are always helpful, but this is another tool in your belt for vetting companies.

That's interesting @Adam Windham as one of our portfolio lenders also uses my projections based on market reviews.

They should get their attorney to draft documents for you to review such as a loan agreement.

@Renee Ren before you make any investment via Fundrise or any other crowdfunding marketplace, please carefully review the liquidity mechanisms as described in the offering documents and consult an experienced securities attorney if there is any ambiguity.

@Elliott Sinclair Thanks for reviewing.
