The investor wants me to come up with a few options for how we can partner on a future deal (coliving home in the Cleveland market).

Hey @Paul LaValley welcome to the forums, and phoenix and Tucson are great markets, what makes you interested in those markets specifically?

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

You need the backup option in case the mid-term rental market changes.Minimizing turn costs and downtime is critical.

You're in a strong rental market, and house hacking a small multifamily in Phoenix is a smart way to build wealth.

Brian,Because VT is a traditional rental market (ski houses), depending on the minimum duration you will be allowing for rentals (ie. monthly, Weekly, etc.) there are some regular carriers in the New England Market that will write it. 

I look every day for off market houses to flip.

Next, side by side duplexes are a Unicorn in the NE Ohio market.

I was interested in this type of deal because I was living in the area for another year and needed to build equity as well as dip my feet into the real estate market.

Rented at $3,215 to a Section 8 Long-Term Tenant instead of a Long-Term Market Tenants for $2,400.
