I would estimate the ARV @ $230,000 on the low side, at least that is where we will list it with hopes that it will move as quickly as some of the comps have recently.

It is pretty low risk from my viewpoint.Then, after you've sold the first property, you could buy another home that needs to be fixed up, live in it as your primary residence, rehab it, and sell it again after living in it for 2 years as your primary residence out of the last 5 years.

Firstly, never underestimate the power of having low leverage on your property.

It has a Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Applebees, and a 99 Restaurant which is a New England chain as well as tons of other businesses and restaurants.

The vacation homes offered a low 10% down so that was helpful.

You basically have high growth and low cash flow Columbus OR decent growth and solid cash flow of Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati. 

Most STR markets have seasonality, and there are untold issues in the future that will effect cashflow. 

@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

If you're going the live in flip route - one great option would be to go with a low money down owner occupied loan to fund your next purchase.

However, given that many sellers have locked in ultra-low mortgage rates from 2020–2021, the existing home supply remains constrained, which will continue to support home prices in certain areas.For investors, rental properties remain a strong option in an inflationary environment.
