Hi Kevin,I think you can find much better numbers than this in Toledo.Plus, you have to include calculations for maintenance, vacancy also.If you don't think anything will go wrong, it will.It's real estate and real estate is a rollercoaster.Granted, I'm local and pick up the best of the best deals due to doing it for over 10 years.I closed on a 6 unit 2 months ago.A class area IMO.$160,000 purchase price.Rehab around $80,000 (More than I budgeted).Optimized rents between $4,000 - $4,500.ARV is $350,000+The deals are out there and don't rush in.All good things take time.Much success
