Short term deals don't really exist here as they are illegal in the surrounding area for the most part. 

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.

The retail is booming, the only downside IMO, is the infrastructure.

The MLS rental listings for surrounding quadplexes all show the utilities as tenant responsibility, including water.

I have properties downtown and the surrounding area, and wish I had bought more! 

Charlotte and its surrounding areas (counties) have ample opportunity in the rental market. 

I was driving around there one time and got surrounded by a group of teens with stun guns laughing at me. 

Replacing the fiberglass surround with a white one is not that expensive either.

Have you invested in Baraboo or the surrounding communities?

I would look around Petoskey and Charlevoix but please note regulations in those towns and surrounding areas.
