Should I continue to pursue the original house deal by deducting their estimated repairs?

Tons of bureaucracy and headaches dealing zoning, DCRA and many other obstacles.

Alternatives include seller financing, a lease option, or using an LLC or trust to structure the deal while maintaining tax benefits.

I also agree that Akron is a viable area as well, but Im still finding the best deals in and around Cleveland.

I’m focused on multi-family and creative financing deals in VA.

The property is located near two colleges, so I’m focusing on student tenants and planning for 12-month lease terms.Do you have any tips or advice for renting by the room?

I hope your deal and lender can fund soon!

Is it crazy to think I can better my cashflow situation if I reallocate the equity to a new deal?

For example, I saw a good deal that needed work.

With your background in lease management and site selection, that could be a natural next step.Regarding STRs, I can understand the hesitation—accurate expense tracking is critical, and not having that data can make evaluating deals frustrating.
