Hello everyone,
My name is Themis Kosmidis and I have recently moved to the Cleveland area. I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up...

Quote from @Gamal Harding: Anduril Industries' Expansion to Columbus: A Transformative Move for Real Estate InvestorsAnduril Industries, a prominent defense technology company based in Costa Mesa, California, has announced plans to establish a new manufacturing facility in Pickaway County, near Rickenbacker International Airport.

Quote from @Jacob Sherman: Quote from @Kiran Asknani: Hi  All I am new to STR game and am planning to start with investing in Boston area or nearby suburbs as I have spent last 10 years in Boston.

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

Mentioning unique perks like 'Game Room,' 'Lake View,' or 'Pet-Friendly' can really draw people in.

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

For C/C- neighborhoods you usually need to scale to 10+ doors; it's a numbers game. 

Based on some of the research done, I am inclined towards starting out with a small multi family investment property (2-4 multi family home).

I'm not trying to time the market. ..just interested in people's opinions for me it was based on my experince I started in RE in 1975 and the 10 year cycle seemed to hold true right up to the GFC at least on the left coast..

The amount of downpayment requirement insures buyers having "skin in the game".
