Hi Jagger-Great question.I am a fellow Michigander from Ann Arbor.Nothing against Maine but the Midwest has seen some of the strongest rent growth in the country.When I consult with my clients, if they don't have the budget for a market like Ann Arbor, I direct them to Lansing, MI.The cashflow is strong, the economy is stable, it is the State capital so there is always economic development creating new jobs, the price point is relatively affordable because the cost of living is lower there, and appreciation is predictably linear.I also advise investors to buy duplexes and up so you always have a rent check coming in most of the time if you have a vacancy.

Hey everyone, I am under contract on a sfh property in the Cleveland area. I spent a bunch of time looking and running numbers before this, and I happened to be in the area the day this listed.It’s a 3 bed, 2.5 bath 2...

Thank you Wale for the great advise!

Can use advise as to how it was done.  

I'm a new investor looking for some advise on my current scenario.. 

Opting for a reputable entity within the industry is advisable, and seeking out reviews can provide valuable insights in this regard.When seeking qualification for a hard money loan, lenders typically scrutinize four key factors: company structure, creditworthiness, liquidity, and collateral.

I always advise clients to speak to someone who has experience and can give some honest advice based on actual deals and mistakes they may have made.

Any advise on any of these numbers or whether I am calculating this properly. 

@Amanda Scheller, @Eric Yu, that's what I was going to advise, link up with a real estate agent who focuses on house hack acquisition.

Is a pool / hot tub only advisable for short-term rentals?
