My name is Max Nelson, I am a Bay Area based Investor with a single Family home in Santa Cruz, CA that is a Short Term/Mid Term Rental and a Duplex in Bend, Oregon.

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

Purchasing a fully furnished 3-bedroom home minutes from a large hospital and a SUNY University.Whom (at the hospital) would I contact to determine if there is a market for mid term rentals.

Focus on having a budget and having a strong financial base EXACTLY I started RE sales right at 18 when I my license saved enough in the first 14 months to buy a home to  live in.. 

.: I've seen the pattern with Bay Area people moving out to Brentwood, Oakley and both cities' home prices have gotten expensive - I consider Antioch/Pittsburg as part of the Bay Area and now Brentwood.

A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

I currently own a 3/2 ranch home with about 100k in equity and have 100k in liquidity.

Some commuters to Dallas, because rent is cheaper in Sherman than Dallas.As far as DFW metroplex goes, probably one of my favorite cities for investment right now.My thought is look at newer homes vs the 100 year old ones.
