I've got about $400k to loan and if I can prove my model to myself, I have access to another $1m in cash. 

Quote from @Bubba McCants: I have the same technique as Drew: copy from others, customize to your business model and laws, refine as you go.I started with a two-pager that was built in the 80s and never updated.

The expectation/ business model behind purchasing properties from Ohio Cashflow is buy and hold for the long term. 

People who weren't able to find student tenants when the new supply came online had to rent to area residents, which may not have fit their model. 

I currently operate a mom and pop rental business in Reading with my wife where we provide an alternative to the slum lord business model that has existed in the Reading market.

In a resort style place like you are looking at, often more than one unit is owned by a single owner.

But back to my first point, if you can use the "tax benefits" at all, if so how much, and how they effect taxes owed at the back end of the deal are all unique to each person's situation.As for refinances, some syndicators model refi's and other's don't.

It will behave as a traditional WP style of page on the web.

My girlfriend's style or my style?
