@Cole DobbsIn addition, I may be able to help you and connect you with some key real estate investor players in the Houston, Texas market since I am an Investor myself that have done most of these real estate investing strategies and also an investor-broker who has helped over 400 investors like you. 

I don't know anything specific about the Cincy market (and what the type of neighborhood this one is in - (A, B, C, etc.), but I've been told it's very similar to where I live in St.

Market conditions being one of them.

The best way to do this is to renovate a unit or two to the specifications to bring it up to market.  

Lima One does verticle in many markets you can check with them.

I have a question regarding the Houston market.

It is not typical that you will find SF deal after deal, and if you are actively marketing for distressed sellers many...most...will want cash sales.

In the meantime we are talking to the property manager to find other STR's in the area so we can support a fair market STR rent. 

I'm not too familiar with the markets yet but research I've done suggests that the towns of New Britain, New Haven and Hartford all have a good mix of inventory and low prices coupled with plenty of amenities, night life, cafes, etc and local colleges to bring younger people to the area year after year.

I'm in the market for entity config and tax planning/prep.
