The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

I’m working to build a comprehensive marketing plan for my rental business.

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

We are continuing to do regular flips and wholesale deals,  4 new builds this year.

Buildings and terrain around you?

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story venue. 

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Hobby Farm On 10 acres2300 sq ft house with 8 out buildings - Large Barn, Animal/hog barn, Mid-size machine shed (2) 25' x 35' / 30' x 50', Large Machine shed 60' x 60', Grainery barn, Entertainment Barn, 3 car garage What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Apparently, not only did they sell at a loss, I didn't get any money back at all and they claim I owe them an additional $40,000 for "renovations" despite no work being done to the building at all. 

Replaced all the windows in the building, insulated the attic and redid the front stoop and cellar doors.

@Collin Hays I completely agree with your theme of building a local banking relationship, which should help someone build their real estate portfolio, but I have a couple of questions.When I read "conforming" and "non-conforming" loans, I think of the loans being underwritten as consumer mortgages.
