Hi, yes Ohio is a place where people from all over the world are investing in real estate.

But MANY/maybe most people don’t know you need to spend that $10-15k on top of the solar.

If they do not qualify because of poor credit or income issues compared to being self employed etc there are differences - but typically people don’t qualify due to poor credit and people will seller finance to these borrowers thinking they woke up at a holiday inn and got a finance degree when in reality they repeat their past mistakesRemember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result

Many people are drawn to the $80K house that cash flow's $300/month.

What I've seen before is the only time rules are enforced are when neighbors get pissed (ie STR neighbors).I would side with caution on this, especially if it is a newer built community where the rules are fresh with people. 

Have you hand walked info and talked to all the people in the community? 

If so, that's your prime market to start in because you have a competitive advantage of boots on the ground you trust of personal knowledge.If I were you, and new, I would not do fixers, I would buy turnkey or rent-ready properties or you are going to have to trust a whole lot more people to do what you want to be done.

For those who are unfamiliar, PadSplit is an affordable housing tech startup that provides a house-sharing service for working people.

Good luck to you and the other people on here that are investing.
