Quote from @Jinglei Shen: I am building my investment portfolio(duplex) in Ohio Cleveland, a few properties i have analyzed  with net cashflow  around $100 to $290 here is one deal I am analyzingDuplex generates $1590 income /month together,purchase price $123,000rate 7.5%, downpayment 25%5% vacancy, 10% mgm fee, $1400/year insurance,10% capex, 5% maintenance,COC is 8.73%monthly net cash $277this deal meets1% rule, bring in positive cash, my question is it in normal range in Ohio Cleveland market? 

I also work with normal buyers and sellers as well as with OOS and International investors. 

Where rates are currently are normal rates over the last 100 years or so.

@Brandon Croucier That isn't correct... state laws allow you to enter the property within certain time periods, normally 24 hrs, with or without permission.

I'm thinking lots in Mexico are probably normally cash buys, so if you can solve that obstacle for someone, you broaden your buyer pool. 

Those are the hardest to notice because they dont cause any damage and drain normally.

Normally I would agree but if we are renting out the main house I don't want them paying for the ADU. 

Second, they are tax advantaged just like normal real estate with annual depreciation.

As an experienced PM, I'm intimately aware of how challenging "normal" property management can be which is why I've always turned down rent by room opportunities.

People mentioning that they put their life savings in something in hopes of a better future is gambling.
