As long as I buy the right property in the right area, I should be fine, which is what 80% of the analysis does. 

If you want properties less than $100k, you need to be in Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, or Toledo.

Hey Sophia,It seems like you’re trying to decide between keeping or selling your rental properties.

@Bobby Paquette really depends on the Class of the property, which is determined by tenant pool, location and condition.Class A: easy to manage remotelyClass B: more challengingClass C/D: should only be attempted by expertsIf you follow the STR lock strategy, you can install smartlocks and then program codes for each tenant's lease.

Quote from @Alex Clark: Looking to buy a property in Ohio Depends.

$1,500-$1,600 is about the going rate for a 2/2 in most average areas of BR, but I can see where some neighborhoods would get more.Another thing to think about - if the property is sitting vacant right now and you have ready and willing (and qualified) tenants, then the opportunity cost of waiting an extra month or two is $1,550/month.

I decided to zoom out beyond Boston and spoke to real estate agents in other markets. 

Their projected numbers were wildly inaccurate, particularly regarding property taxes.

It is entirely possible that a Sponsor can be approved, but an individual offering may not.This industry, like all real estate, has its ups and downs.

For example, if there was a property for $100k and it needed $60k of fixes and fees, the amount needed would be $160k.
