Renting and eating the loss is a gamble on future rent increases, but the market and high costs might not make it worth the stress.

I've found some operators find this very stresseful.

Franklinton is undergoing rapid transformation, with developments like The Gravity Projects, new breweries, and an expanding arts district driving change.Safety and Future Outlook:Increased Investments: New developments bring better lighting, public spaces, and infrastructure, naturally improving safety.Community Growth: More residents and businesses create activity, discouraging crime and boosting the neighborhood's vibrancy.Police and Outreach: Enhanced patrols and local organizations address crime and substance issues.While challenges remain, ongoing investments and gentrification make Franklinton safer and more attractive.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy bodybuilding, working on cars, and anything that keeps me physically active outdoors, which helps me remain grounded and focused.I'm looking forward to networking, exchanging ideas, and building lasting relationships in this community.

I would get active at some local meetups where you can meet other housing providers to get a lot of these things answered.

SFD vs condo vs 2-4 unit, hold vs flip, turnkey vs rehab, passive vs active...it really comes down to each individual property/opportunity, what your goals with the property are, and if the numbers make sense or not.Best of luck!

I’m fairly new to the BP forums and BP site in general, But I have been very active on the podcasts and books stacking education and knowledge in the real estate field. 

Until then, don't stress.

IE if you are wanting to wholesale which I don;t reco today, its too hard, you want a list of high equity owners BUT BUT the value is in figuring out a source of stress, a reason why the owner is on the virge of wanting to sell. 

I recommend working with a professional to help alleviate that stress and get the grant pushed through.
