My main focus is Class B and maybe some C+ properties around NE Columbus, as well as outside 270 from the North to the east side.

I know that my COC my be lower, etc but my main concern since its my first property is being cash flow positive.  

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

The main reason is that it is not initially set up for a Real Estate business like other “real estate-specific” accounting software.

OpenPhone has been a great tool for communicating with property owners, vendors, and generic main office phone calls. 

Being on a main road that has bus stops is great too as you're property can still run well without a great parking situation.

For example is the 3/4" settlement in a main area of the home, is it in a basement?
