On top of that, when you go to sell you learn the market has been stagnant and has not appreciated with limited owner occupants & investors are not willing to pay retail given the amount of distressed inventory that exists in the market. 

 @Samuel Diouf which neighborhoods in Columbus would you suggest looking into?

Stanley - I would suggest that you go have 3-5 conversations with lenders and understand how much they are willing to lend to you given your financial situation.

You should never pay retail!

You should have ran this question as Anderson Business Advisors was suggesting this set-up.The set-up is also difficult to understand that you likely have to engage your attorney everyyear with questions that you have where they would be billing you.I like the slogan regarding keeping it simple.

If you don’t need cash flow in the near term, my suggestion is to use depreciation to defer taxable gains.

I will check those area out.I did lose the novelty on Airbnb’s after also checking out Myrtle beach as a suggestion and went straight to looking at apartment buildings.maybe I’ll come back full circle in the future.

Thank you for the book suggestion.

Any suggestions?  

I am a builder in NWA.I have given some investors opportunities to partner in builds with me.The deal structure is beneficial for investors because they get a newly built rental property for below retail price.Feel free to connect with me if it is something that would interest you.
