We set up a couple of "test" inspections for them prior to their coming, to see how legitimate the inspections were. 

Hey Mike, congrats on passing your test!

I 100% recommend those and I usually use their "halo" line for smart locks, however i'm about to start testing the yale locks that partnerned with google. 

So I started testing it out with specific addresses and potential gross rental income and was blown away how it was exactly the gross income that the market offered. 

And we are just getting ready to pass the septic licensing test which will help us save 6k to 7k per cabin by doing our own septic. 

Quote from @Andrina Maximin: I finally want to dive into put my training wheels to the test, I'm looking into investing in Ohio, and would like to know has anyone used a DSCR loan? 

Just be sure and stress test the aggregate performance of old plus new property with additional debt on the old property.  

I would first advise the client to look into the foundation of the structure and then understand that the shared walls are not meant to be exposed.if the property passes the location test, then i would move to structural test, then to water mitigation test.It is likely tho that there will need to be some sort of reinforcing done on the structure regardless of its current condition.

You can test out mid term or short term rentals on one or a few of the units to offset that, or you can accept that you're drastically lowering your living expenses and building equity. 

We have been long term owners for many years and have recently decided to make the move to medium term on 1/2 of our duplex to test the market.
