Today, I analyzed over 10 condos, and while I found one with a positive cash-on-cash return, it was far from impressive.I’d love to hear from experienced condo investors about why this type of real estate might make sense despite the low cash-on-cash returns and HOA fees that cannot be influenced.As a bonus, if anyone has purchased investment properties for their children with a similar goal, I’d really appreciate any insights about your process or results.I am looking at buying 2 investment condos for my children to pay for their college tuition in 13-15 years.

The fact that you already have multiple units fully rented is a big plus.If I were analyzing this, I’d start by verifying each cottage’s rental history, condition, and potential for adding more units or amenities.

After this, we are hoping to pursue more destination-location STRs in Oregon and Washington, and possibly BRRRR LTRs closer to home to diversify a bit.Help me analyze this potential build.

I wanted to share some key insights from Rentometer’s analysis of over 5 million rental searches in 2024. The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list...

The triplex is much more popular with traveling work crews for specialists in the trades and insurance relocations, so if we were to do it again, I would probably worry less about making each room it's own rentable space and save a little bit of those costs. 

there you go. the problem is appraisal. comparable sales, and your approach to building an ADU against the recommendation of your market. super beginner strategy it's popular in ohio as well but just not worth the investment. 

This year’s most popular areas are known for being fast-growing cities with plenty of new development, with healthy job growth in Florida and Texas in particular.

I have 3 associates / relatives that would be doing my renovations, as I would be finding, analyzing, and purchasing the deals. 

Propelio is especially popular in Texas, so if you're investing in areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, or Frisco, it’s worth exploring.Public Property Records: County appraisal districts (CADs) often have free online tools to search properties by owner name or address.

I kind of doubt it since Airbnb isn't that popular in these parts.
