Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Are there any resources that you'd recommend?

Or any other resources for STR SEO if you're willing? 

Lastly, in this example, if you are only able to collect rents but have no equity on the property - that is worse for the investor than owning the property.

Happy to send over some resources regarding the Columbus Ohio market and why it's a great market to invest into!

Let me know if I can provide any additional tips or resources to help.Best regards,Sadler Surratt 

Closing CostsMake sure you also budget for closing costs, which are a collection of fees and payments made to the various parties involved in your transaction.

I'm curious to connect with any other STR/ MTR owners in that area to get more info on resources that are in the area and what challenges/ successes you have had there. 

Check to see if CIREIA is meeting while you will be here -- they are a great resource.

(Yes it still happens, but it is a lease violation, and we have a solid leg to stand on should we need to pursue eviction or collections later.)
