The market still has relatively low entry points compared to other major cities, making it possible to find multifamily properties like duplexes and triplexes in the price range you’re targeting.

I - nor my clients - will rent to anyone without having of proof of engagement prior to moving in.Hope this helps.

It also tends to have larger, well maintained duplexes compared to other areas.

The interests rate seem comparable.

That's why appraisers do the comparative approach and then secondarily the cost approach.So far, 100% of the time you don't get dollar for dollar back from what I've seen.

Dayton has lower entry pricing, and I tend to find way more deals with solid margins there compared to Cincinnati.

I am at 1757% less this year in stocks as compared and I thought that was great.

Take a look at the pictures, is it higher, lower, middle quality compared to yours.

As someone else said, check the history of prior gas bills and the average bill in your zip code, and understand that you might have to eat that cost.

@Tom Rairdon If you’ve owned your short-term rental (STR) for over a year, it likely qualifies for long-term capital gains (LTCG) treatment, taxed at lower rates (0%-20%) compared to your 33% ordinary income bracket.
