G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

@Kaaren Hall after seeing your post i called them right away, their fees are extremely high for an HSA that for the most part most people don't have a lot of money in.I max my HSA every year, but if you have a self only plan you can only put about 4k /yr and if you have some medical bills it's less.they are also very restrictive on taking money out, and no CC to pay the doctor. prior to speaking with them I was extremely excited to see this opportunity you suggested, but after my conversation I'm no longer...I will look for other options now that I see there may be some, so thanks so much for bringing it up.

You should find out what percentage of the rent is being paid by S8 and by the tenant.Tenants have to sign the rent increase and some won't because they don't want their payment portion increasing.It's also highly unlikely a S8 office will approve the huge increase from $797 to $1300.- BTW: the $1300 includes all utilities being paid by the landlord.

Even though the nightly rate is high, the RE has such high value that the margins are fairly tight.

That way, there is some type of cushion to help against any high usage months, should they just happen to use more than your previous tenants did, or if you unfortunately get tenants who abuse the "utilities included" opportunity.

The most common answer, especially in recent times, is highly levered, floating rate debt.This is not the only answer, by any means.
