Pro tip - Home Depot has a tile from Ivy Hill that looks exactly like Zellige for a fraction of the cost.

All in one closing so the costs are minimal. 

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I'm not sure about other neighborhoods in Cincinnati but my properties' area (Mt Healthy) just introduced a City Rental Registration, starting 2025, that costs $100.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Its pretty awesome (BTW, I am not affiliated with FUB, just a passionate users)You can capture all the homeowner demographics along with associated relationships and information - pictures, files, emails, notes, calls, text, etc.You can have a team number(s) at no addition costs (we use it to lead generate for different states and can be configured to round-robin. 

We network with other fix & flippers teaching them how to properly structure a seller financed note so that it has value on the secondary market, we then buy a partial from them to take out most, if not all, of their cost basis so they can recapitalize and go do another deal. 

3) Your $250k with 30% down => about $750k (you also need funds for closing costs, taxes, etc.)

Reverse 1031 Exchanges are more complicated and have higher costs, but can solve these problems.
