The basement is too low to be rentable SF (unfortunately!)

In no particular order I have listed some of the most popular markets for out of state investorsCincinnati, OhioDayton, OhioToledo, OhioYoungstown, OhioCincinnati, OhioMemphis, TennesseeSaint Louis, MissouriIndianapolis, IndianaDetroit, MichiganErie, PennsylvaniaLouisville, KentuckyMilwaukee, WisconsinJackson, MississippiEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

We offer it at TFSB but it does require the basics like qualified credit score, DTI ratios - Must have W2 or (2 years of 1099 income) to qualify.

Is it wise to buy some units with high cash flow and low appreciation, and others with lower cash flow but high appreciation to diversify my portfolio?  

Why do you think the demand is low?

The problem in analyzing is we have no idea what Thomas' personal FICO/credit history, assets, vesting type etc.. 

@Chris Kay it's VERY difficult to cashflow with 0% down purchases.We do 0-10% down Land Contracts and know going in we may actually have negative cashflow - which is acceptable given the low down payment and avoiding mortgage costs.

I agree 15 years is not a long time but what is occurring is jurisdictions then pass laws to protect the low cost housing.  

I have found the JLDs to be mostly from credit card companies and banks, but I am still unsure if that's what I am suppose to be looking for or not.

I have the ability to cover all the expenses if there is vacancy, which this property has low vacancy.
