What area are you investing in?

How do I calculate interest income, what are a few tenant charges (income), and expense reimbursements.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Have you narrowed down the area you'd like to invest in yet?

I would first identify the area(s) that you think wil work and then dtart riving around.

Lots of areas have been appreciating.

I know that real estate is super specific to the locale, and I'd love to hop on a quick call with someone who has context in the Columbus market.Without digging too much into the details, I'm under contract for a duplex in the Franklinton area.
