So my best advice would be to not make a clear cut decision yet, but keep your eyes open for an opportunity that gets you there.

About BRRRR in Columbus - I'll be straight with you.

Further, I had negotiated 12 months interest reserve; they cut that to 3 months.  

Push forward with your eviction and cut your losses. 

This also cuts down on the crazies. 

This will cut down significantly on the issues you may have down the road with communication, paying rent on time, caring for property, etc. 

I was talking about multifamily closer to 10+ units like you said than just 5 units, so there might have been some miscommunication there.I appreciate and respect you, just wanted to make sure the facts were straight.

I had a whole Analysis typed out but my wifi cut out so I've retyped a summed up version.

Preferred returns would even be acceptable but not a straight interest rate play if the lender understands the structure. 

We built it out of necessity and started same way as everyone, cut our teeth on bad decisions.
