FHA or conventional, you could likely do now, but then what you're up against is "oh so you're going to commute from Mulwaukee to Camp Lejune 5 days a week? 

Hi all, I am looking to invest in Akron, OH.

I will send current clients my past clients' homes and talk revenues, but there's no way to show, oh hey, this Denver STR pulled $90k this year but would have done only $70k if it didn't have the hot tub.It's nice to have that data to back up what I'm saying.

Oh I see @Jay Hinrichs the old stuff seems harder to access not sure sorry not to read your whole question. i have wondered that about the older ones too, they were better more realistic.

I would install new cabinet doors with hidden hinges on the existing cabinets; I order from Fryburg doors out of Millersburg, Ohio because I'm close enough to pick up and the quality is so very nice, but menards also sells in stock cabinet doors. 

Oh, I've owned and sold a few rentals, so I'm not completely ignorant of the industry.

Oh, and my colleague's name is in the spot where it says "John Smith" in case you didn't figure that out.

I invest here in Columbus, Ohio and would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!
