@Steve Smith I know using self-directed retirement accounts is pushed pretty big, but my understanding from accountants including my own is that people tend to get themselves into hot water with them. 

With loan rates close to 8 you would think that should push cap rates higher.

We suspected it was from another tenant who was a mechanic and I warned them that they needed to stop washing his work clothes in the washer but we are on occurrence #4 now what should I do? 

New construction may offset demand and keep your investment from appreciating quickly but as more people push out from the city center, property in those towns will be in higher demand.My preference is eastward towards Wendell and Zebulon.

I use a version of the 50% rule as a quick but reliable measure of expenses on a single-family: you can reasonably expect all monthly expenses not related to the  principal+interest of the loan on a property OVER THE LONG HAUL to be 50% of monthly gross income.I also think she's just calculating that PITI expenses are pushing her down to - $120 a month.

Honestly, for unique amenities like you are mentioning, I'd just roll the dice and see how it changes your occupancy and how far you can push your rates. 

Anyway there is a lock box on the outside of rental a coded lock on my front showing all passers by that this is available and like vacant.I feel like im getting screwed and pushed around but no one is respondig timely to emails so that I will call and they can say that we never had the convoANY LEADS OR ADVICE!

The builders first response was that we had to deal with it + get retested if we wanted to and if we wanted to push closing back we would have to pay $500 a day.

Once he did mention that the central heat gas line needed to be hard plumbed through the furnace housing, and the washing machine drain needed a p trap. 

Quote from @Daniel Rabinov: While I appreciate all the brokers pushing their market here, it would be nice to get some investor opinion on the matter as well.A lot of people are saying the Columbus and Ohio are over saturated and over harvested already and it's nearly impossible to find good deals.
