@Ramada Evans your approach, not doing your own research and just asking a bunch of strangers for general advice, has a high probability of ending badly. 

It is growing and has an incredible job market; it is also pretty run down in many sections of the city.

@Maxnbee Nyabende - So great to hear your approach of prioritizing vertically integrated companies when thinking of where to build your rental property portfolio. 

This approach saves you time and effort while keeping you in compliance.

Hi everyone,Fix-and-flip projects can be incredibly rewarding, but they always come with challenges.

It's incredible how much you can travel for cheap/free if you learn to point stack and search for flights in advance. 

Without a permit, the rental income might not need to be reported, but this approach risks legal issues, loss of tax benefits, and complications during audits or resale.

In most states, foreclosures can be very risky:1) They are often occupied and you can't approach the occupants to see the interior.

I had a few properties when a lady that owned a cleaning company I had contracted with previously approached me about combining forces on a property management company.

Additional Details:The property is in a desirable area with good amenities nearby.STR data from AirDNA shows decent revenue potential, but the lack of comps makes me hesitant.I’m looking for a balanced approach that minimizes risk, even if STR performance doesn’t hit expectations.If anyone has experience investing in Cincinnati or navigating markets where STR data is sparse, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
