Berea is extremely difficult for renters to find low price points and they’ve pushed themselves deeper into Eastern KY while Lexington commuters come into southern Madison county and beyond as they did into Jessamine county.

Having the neighborhood push back on Airbnb's could entirely change your investing strategy.

I’d also look into using an FHA 203k renovation loan, allowing me to buy something unqualified for a standard mortgage, which would weed out a lot of competition and push the price lower.

This gonna help him push his agenda.

Good luck and keep pushing forward.

If he’s refusing to provide that, I’d take a close look at your management agreement to see what’s actually required.If he keeps pushing back, that’s a red flag.

Push through it, you may even need to have a second, consistent paying job and thats OK, until you get established.

Pushing into other, close-by, markets is the best (and maybe only) way to make it work.

Hi @Drew Sygit, thanks for your response.You shared some good insight, particularly about the classes of tenants that would push back against the strategy I proposed originally.

Where your pushed up against the wall, does it make sense to still own the property?
