Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Clinton.

If you’re selling and you’re going to buy another rental no matter what, if you probably do a 1031 unless you have almost no capital gain or depreciation capture.

(or if they're primary buyers, they don't care about yield, since they're going to live there.)i just went to visit two very distressed properties yesterday that i would buy.... if they were priced 50% lower.  

In your case, you are probably better off buying a break-even deal in Tampa then a deal with $200 cash flow OOS.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

Turnkey, buy-and-holds, flips, or something else?

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

A 1031 exchange is for selling an investment property then buying another investment property. 

Then, if you can trend over time you'll want to see where the "path of progress" is going/moving and attempt to buy in that path of progress to gain some appreciation in the future.
