I’ve been starting my research by seeing what is being bought and what is on the market, and live nearby so would like to check out neighborhoods, but am wondering which neighborhoods I should invest in?

I’ve done some research and have found that some banks will allow the seller finance portion from the seller to go towards the down payment of the loan, is that true?

Based on some of the research done, I am inclined towards starting out with a small multi family investment property (2-4 multi family home).

After some additional research we have decided to focus on the aforementioned markets, but I will keep you in mind if we decide to look at Columbus more closely in the future. 

@Jemini LeckieIf investing locally is not in the cards I would do some research and pin point a market that fits what you are looking for and then reach out in the forums for that specific market and ask more detailed questions.

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

Yet investors expect a PMC to do all this extra followup for free because they think the program is "gold".We've always accepted S8 tenants and have no plans to stop.It's a decent program if the investor understands the limitations and challenges.Otherwise, it's "fool's gold".

I've done a lot of research and even worked on running numbers for certain options (just as an exercise), but I'm now looking forward to jumping in.

I just did some research and responded to you with my thoughts.
