I’m based in Portland, Oregon, where residential investing seems challenging due to landlord-unfriendly policies and negative cash flow on higher-quality properties.

You can probably make decent returns in Akron based on gross income and purchase price.

The definition, like so many other words, has been replaced with what was that of desire. 

My capital continues to be completely tied up in the property since I'm pretty maxed on my LTV and likely can't unlock any more equity with a HELOC or something like that.The goal of this project was always meant to be a short term exit so I could continue to try and aggressively grow my real estate portfolio, but now it feels like I'm stuck at first based.

If its the business then asset based lenders may be interested.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Even with that, I think we will still be way ahead. 2 bed, 1 bath, 1200sq/ft, detached 1 car garagePurchase Price: $38,000Repairs: $20,000ARV: $96,000 (based off Zillow, but a local real estate agent thought that was pretty accurate)Mortgage: $430Insurance: $55Trash Included: $25Rent: $1,000We are now going through applications for our first tenant. 

It all depends on the work you/your clients want to do to create value and the overall game plan.

(In other words, I won't be creating a profession out of REI.)  

Thankfully, I come from a close-knit family who believed in me.That second investment turned out to be a game-changer.
