If you are doing long term rentals and raising rents, you will have turnover of a significant number of tenants after their year of renting when you raise their rent.

NY is expensive and can understand why people are saying Ohio.It sounds like this is for a long term rental.

It may work in the long term but can be a painful process.i wish the OP the best and i believe he can benefit by recognizing the value in the various responses but seems unwilling.  

We’ve done this exercise for ads in our market and the search volume is negligible Share a screenshot of your GA for us if you don’t mind showing your seo traffic and conversions According to Google the volume of the below search terms which your site ranks for is negligible so very very curious how much seo traffic you are getting and if you have your goal conversions setup which I’m sure you do it’ll show the conversions from this traffic source  Your screeenshots of form conversions mean nothing to me.

You can put as little as 3-5% down and still legitimately claim the property as a primary residence which gets you better terms. 

I’m now working with a lender and terms are much different and costly. 

Here's the breakdown:Financing: We used a seller carry deal with 25% down ($100k), a 30-year term (balloon in 10 years), and a 4.68% interest rate.

I currently have SFH and multi-family long term rentals and I partnered on a short-term rental.

If you choose to go with a first time home buyer program, you would need to identify all the terms and advantage of that as MANY are available.
