Bought a 3700 sqr ft duplex in Ashtabula OH, the burbs of Cleveland. 4/1.5 and a 4/2 duplex.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

Through a client and a lot of research and connections through my Personal Training Industry How did you finance this deal?

@John Cooper, it sounds like a normal tenant and a difficult landlord.

It sounds like you’re in a great position to get started—$100k saved up and a clear goal are huge advantages.

Hi, I’m highly considering a mixed use building which includes a few residential units and a couple commercial units.

I agree about a strong correlation between a good credit score and a good tenant.

I would find a property that can provide you both.I used to aim for 8% cash on cash return + 4% appreciationGiven where the market is now, it is likely hard to find 8% cash-on cash and a 4% appreciation.I think 4% cash-on cash and 4% appreciation is do-able.

It ensures they did a good job and a thorough job, it also provides evidence of the state the house was in when guests arrived in case there are any guest complaints or guest damage.

As both a realtor and a general contractor.
