However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

A perfect fit in many ways, especially since Wade has owned GSP’s his entire life and his family currently owns one.

@John Lasher There are many good multifamily coaching programs out there, but coaching isn't the right fit for every person. 

I wouldn't consider it a heavy negative unless the street is super tight and parking is hard to come by or if the street is very steep/busy.The more desirable dense city neighborhoods it's almost kind of expected and off street parking would be considered a luxury rather than a necessity.If you get out into the suburbs I would say it's more of a big deal since more rentals have off street parking or a garage there.

Some clients who are more aggressive will invest in B-/C+/C class areas in Dayton 1-4 units and get A LOT of cash flow, but incur risks of evictions, expensive turnover renovations, and general C class neighborhood headaches.What are you looking to achieve?

This seems like a no-brainer to me and fits well into a vertical integration strategy (I'm also thinking about managing other people's rentals as even more vertical integration (aka side money).  

Hi Everyone,I’m investing in an essentially turnkey (it was a flip) MFH in Woonsocket, RI and wanted to get your take from anyone who has experience in the city.I know the city has a bit of a reputation, but it’s in the Fairmount neighborhood that tends to be quite good.

People don’t want to share their quiet neighborhoods with renters who don’t value peace and quiet and a sense of community.  

On the other hand, if you're hoping for better appreciation, Columbus will be a better fit.

However, just get in, see where you fit, and build over a decent pace where down the line you will be doing great.
