Do you want to travel 2 days to the east coast, FL or something only a day away you can get to quickly like AZ or NV?

I’m also interested in the Louisville market - given the SF Bay Area (where I live) is too pricey for a newbie like me to start off in - and I travel to Louisville several times a year for work.

We are not close enough to the mountains to get much ski vacation travelers.

.:) And travelling to my clients place of business and helping them do RE deals..

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

It’s very hard for me to see almost anyone I can think of giving up thier mortgage that’s cheaper than renting in most cases because of acute financial distress, certainly the region could feel pain as people cut back in other ways like eating out, travel etc. but the number of people who will be forced to sell I suspect is in the low single digits..I don't live there, I don't buy there.

Short-term rentals are popular around the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods, mid-term rentals are common to target traveling nurses and doctors from health facilities like Nationwide Children’s Hospital.I’ve also spent time living in Cincinnati and it has a lot of unique character.

Being in the Army limits my ability to travel and explore markets firsthand.

Hey Grant,I co-lived in Estes Park and several other places during a travel mission I undertook as part of a personal journey to get more in touch with myself.

Even when I travel, the tenants don't mind a bit of a delay.
