I would recommend that you analyze the operating side of the business and the capital side of the business separately.On the operating side, you can use AirDNA to predict the potential income which is gross revenue.

All well and good to dream big, but you need to understand the practicalities and probabilities of getting the deal to closing. 

How do you really hold yourself or others accountable in practice?

If you're open to $120-180k, I would recommend looking into Columbus Ohio as it does have much better growth and appreciation potential than Cleveland and Dayton. 

As you develop the park I would strongly recommend your homes be individually metered for water, sewer expense prorated and garbage paid by tenants via individual can service. 

Are there any other neighborhoods you recommend?

Any recommendations/suggestions?

I recommend renting it as a 4/4 and being clear about the set up. 

Often don't have to be licensed, but ask.If you are serious about all this, recommend getting your RE license AND pursuing NARPM courses.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
