Here are some of the more longstanding discussions that may help to answer your questions.Specifically at Rent To Retirement, we operate a turnkey marketplace that focuses about 90% on A class, new construction properties located in growth markets.

In our area, it is rare to find a gas station where the real estate is owned by the operator.

I also broker ALR's in Colorado, and create deals in which I connect operators with landlords looking to lease option the properties.PM me so we can connect!

I would focus my attentions here and try to stay local (within a 4 hour drive) as the POH rentals require more engagement.Financing is a tough deal... but sometimes you can find those Mom and Pop operations with quite a few POH rentals that will work with seller financing on a reasonable interest rate with a balloon within 5-7 years. 

Looking forward to the journey ahead....In my experience, very few properties in Ohio are strictly required to operate as Section 8 rentals.

Would love to hear form some Multi-Family owners/operators in these markets about pros/cons and specifically neighborhoods to avoid.My wife and I have been to Columbia SC many times and, while we have never been to Little Rock Arkansas, we plan on going in Late March! 

Don't operate under the, "we get along and can figure it out" mindset. 

For real estate investors, that means lower operational costs for managing properties and cheaper construction expenses.

I’ve talked to a number of investors and they can’t get 10% down on owner finance transactions were the deed transfers at closing.I operate in 4 or 5 markets.

You'll most likely still need a coborrower at first, but may be able to refi them out of the deal in a year or two once you have qualifying experience and operating history - then you can likely use all of the rental income towards your gross income.
