Simply put you know what you know when you don't know what you don't know, no offense, but most people don't realize it until they get too deep in it to be able to facilitate and then they are flailing and desperately in search of a PM and then they get into bed with a bad one.

I have about 4 doors here in Columbus, Ohio in Hungarian Village and Southern Orchards that are renting about $1375 a unit for 3 bed/1 baths.

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

Purchase price: $305,000 Cash invested: $80,000Single Family home in a 55+ community. 2 Bed 2 Bath, attached 2 Car Garage.

The house is a smaller colonial with 3 beds and 1.5 baths.

As eric pointed out, someone who lives in Phila will have to be registered as a manager of the property to obtain a rental license - usually a PMPersonally if you're looking to target SFH I would recommend: Roxborough (for 3+ bedroom - there is a large saturation for 1-2 bed apartments in area), East falls, E and W Mount airy (need to be proficient in neighborhood to know where the good and not so good blocks are, and far NE philly.

The generally equates to a tiny 3 bed 1 bath home that is in need of renovation, and either no basement or unfinished.

Have you called the housing authority that covers this property to confirm the max rent based on the # of beds?
