I think it's the best market in the whole country in my opinion.

However, purchasing the replacement property from an estate where your mother-in-law is the executor and other heirs are your wife's aunts and cousins raises potential related-party concerns under Section 1031(f).The IRS generally prohibits 1031 exchanges between related parties unless both the buyer and seller hold their respective properties for at least two years after the exchange.To stay compliant and avoid disqualification, ensure:The estate sells the property directly before any distributions to heirs.You hold the replacement property for at least two years.The transaction is conducted at fair market value with no prearranged agreements.Given the IRS scrutiny of related-party 1031 exchanges, consult a qualified CPA or 1031 exchange accommodator to structure the deal properly and avoid potential capital gains tax liabilities.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Purchase price: $270,000 Cash invested: $54,000 A multi-family upper/lower duplex in Ankeny found off-market during COVID.

I am looking into my STR options but from what I have learned this is a overflowing market in the area and the vacancy's are increasing so I may look into mid term and long term only.

The market is ALWAYS changing but I know at this time, seasoned investors are getting 80% LTV on DSCR in the 6% range and 90% of PP/100% of renovation if total loan does not exceed 75% of ARV for FixNFlip loans. =)  

Very interested in the Cleveland/Ohio market in addition to a few other cross-border cities closer to Toronto. 

I am looking into investing in Findlay Ohio and would like to find an agent to answer some questions about the location, market, and suggestions on places.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

Much like other markets in the Midwest, investors go to our market because of the low barrier to entry.

I will research my market to find out what's required for my state.
