Most places in Ohio can be profitable rentals... if you can stomach those property taxes!

I have STR, MTR, and Long term rentals.

Quote from @Logan Barwick: I Am looking at getting involved in rental properties and debating on which option would be best.

I suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance. 

In memphis rehabs and rentals are definitely a thing. 

Looking at rentals for college students

Market insights and understanding the rental rates in the neighborhood.

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

With these deals you have to risk some capital and thats where I find the average investor especially here on BP that is very much rental ( IE has to cash flow day one ) simply will not entertain these deals.. you also have to be willing to walk from 50k or 100k if it turns against you..  

We have owned rentals in the past as well.
