No guts, no glory. 

In today's world, with the tools we now have, I tell the investors that I work with to invest in the best market and best deal you can.

Still lots of work to do on the house and the “book” I still have to figure out what to do for it (paper/digital/both), and a few more things I probably am not yet aware of … reading on this forum and asking questions sure has helped out a lot.

THEN you have to support yourself while you are working on your first deal. 

you always need a good one no matter where you at if you are OOS investing. 

No one can helpfully answer the questions you pose without more specific information.Have you walked through the property?

How do you know what areas co-living could work? 

@Zeona McIntyre seems like the Covid work-remote craze is over.

Understanding what you can afford will help you narrow down deals that actually work for you!

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.
