Does anyone have any recommendations or something they can refer me to. 

So I would ask what you care the most about depending on the type of deals you do.I do think checking references and reviews is important as that's sometimes overlooked and some lenders are notorious for switch & baiting. 

Do your risk reward analysis.  

When you say the suburbs, are you referring to Jackson, Plain, North Canton, etc?

I definitely agree that rent by the room is awesome for increasing cash flow - again, it does come with it's headaches but with the higher risk comes higher reward (I've been doing it for almost 3 years now, it's really the only way to make the numbers work with little cash down on properties).From my personal experience, talking to others at meetups, and reading this post, I think there's definitely demand for specialized rent by the room property management.

What the "Myth" Conversation RevealsWhen investors at meetups tell you cash flow is a myth, they’re likely referring to:-Poor property management or lack of planning.

Like many things, on the other side of sacrifice, discomfort, and hard work is a large financial reward. 

I can refer a couple of great PM's in Orlando if you want to get another opinion or two. 

The bottom line is, the strategy can open doors you didn’t even know existed.. it’s not just a tax hack, it’s a wealth-building strategy that rewards a little patience and a lot of foresight.If you’re floating around Chicago, Omaha, or even dipping your toe in the Phoenix or San Antonio scenes, I’d love to help you navigate this territory.
