Quote from @Sri Voodi: RE Gurus,Recently started looking to invest in Akron/OH for single family homes.

The Rental Owners Association of Lane County has a membership of over 1,300+ rental owners, representing over 20,000 rental units(from single family to multi-story complexes). 

Do you prefer single families?

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2025") and then do it.

My preference is Single Family, although I currently own some mobile homes, some parks, and some small multi-family as well as notes on land and houses. 

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

From what I can tell online, the RF1 zoning district is designed primarily for single family row houses (like townhomes).

Single Family?

Criteria:6 months STR2 bd, 2 ba, Single Level House Furnished with yard, washer & dryer with A/C (inland not near coast)Pet Allowable 40 lb labodor 10 yrs, 40 lbs Red Heeler Mix and 6 lbs catNear VA Hospital, shops, grocery stores (at least 25 minutes commute)

Hearing from many testimonials by talking to real Padsplit owners in person, it seems to be a true cashflow machine coming from a single family residence.
