I would make sure that in that scenario you're hitting your ROI expectations.

Columbus - less monthly cash flow - higher predicted long term appreciationDayton - More monthly cash flow - standard expected appreciation

Quote from @Rajagopalarao Paidi: I have not seen any deals with this much spread like rehab+pp/.75, is this still valid and expected, because I have not come across any in this range  Hey Rajagopalaroa--Agreed--I don't use the 75% rule. 

Hi @Emily Gowen, whether you should sell comes down to what income (both cash flow and appreciation) you could realistically expect from the properties in the next X number of years vs. the amount of money you could make by selling now and either reinvesting or just sticking that cash in the S&P and collecting your 6-10% risk-free returns YoY.

@Patricia Smith Even if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

However with a long hold I do expect San Diego RE to have outstanding ROI.  

Quit expecting the tenant to 'perform' for you. 

They're pretty organized, but expect annual inspections and some extra paperwork. 

Tenants know to expect them.

People don't read STR descriptions you see this alot with international properties where people expect US standards.
