I wanted to share some key insights from Rentometer’s analysis of over 5 million rental searches in 2024. The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list...

For example "Just get 3 estimates from general contractors.." is a lot easier written than done!!

That sounds like massive renos (ie new floors, painting...).Yes as you acquire more properties, the chances of having multiple vacancies (no matter how leases are staggered) increases.

I had the chance to meet him this past weekend at a summit in Virginia, and I found him to be incredibly kind and full of valuable insights.

Compare other rentals with a similar size, location and bedroom count to get an estimate of what the rent would be while you're living there.

For example, for a 500,000 purchase, the Land Transfer Tax would be approximately 6,475 while if the same house was purchased in the City of Toronto, expect to be charged about 12,950.And as a foreign buyer, a premium would be added: I really don't know the numbers here anymore, consult with a Real Estate lawyer for an estimate here.- Work Permit ?

We have been working to be extremely conservative with our estimates but with this being our first go at this, any additional expertise is greatly appreciated! 

And how can we align our approach to meet those expectations and improve our chances of securing financing?  

I also am happy to give them a chance to explain so we can build trust. 

But the chance of a wipe out like those that are coming in as equity basically in a junior position is mitigated..
