I'd recommend reaching out to your local REI meet ups and see who the seasoned investors are using. 

It's going to be your thin credit profile / lack of seasoned trade lines.

Cashout for Conventional products will be 12 months seasoning. 

In need of seasoned renters advice!

I truly appreciate the advice and experiences shared by seasoned investors here and look forward to learning from your insights.

The short term market is seasonal.

The average age of the number 1 single family home owner is greater than 2010 and less than 15 years old and they are now building homes new construction and owning them. the exact opposite of your strategy. older homes are the cheaper ones and unless you have experience I'd build in columbus close to downtown. same reason Toledo and Cleveland don't move the needle and there aren't 100 institutions in those markets. columbus is barely on the radar. 

Typically, older assets have higher cap rates, while better locations and new constructions tend to have lower cap rates. 

The only difficulty is I’m trying to find a multifamily property in an older housing stock area but nonetheless an owners unit inside a larger house is the goal but hopefully I can get lucky with the items you pointed out as well.
