As long as your rents are good and you're getting the types of properties and tenants you want, this simplifies THINKING about it such that you don't need some crazy calculator and excel sheet to do the analysis on the purchase side.My view is that is much better time and thought energy spent on the actual construction as there are a thousand ways to control costs and bring value in a rehab.

Now to throw a curve ball, what if the property runs off of solar energy?? 

Specifically, economic-related terms.

Energy & knowledge = $$$.

Canadian investors are particularly interested in the area, funneling $326.2 million into North Texas over the past 12 months.Job growth and economic diversity were cited in the report as driving interest, though 49 percent of respondents reported “strong economic basics driving rental growth value” as the primary reason they’re putting their money in the region.

I went to school in Cincinnati so generally aware of the area, but look forward to getting more perspective on market condition, growth potential, economics, rental demand etc. 

Any leads regarding economical structural engineer, soil testing  and foundation work would be much appreciated. 

There are several good ones but Indy and KC has the best combination of good economic/demographics and cash flow in my opinion.

I think the smallest bedroom is about 75-80 sq ft. as I have been saying there is economically obsolete  ( many of these older homes that need more work than what they are worth on a resale basis) and functionally ( it appears building the cheapest home to the very minimum UBC code is a prime example.I had a rental up in Kokomo I dealt with that heat was too much in the winter and the tenant said either lower or NO rent or I have to move .

I just dont have the time/energy to take an under performing 10 unit building on right now.
