I had never saved for Collage so I just paid for it out of pocket each quarter so we sacrificed during the Collage years...

BTR is good for long term rentals but for construction economies of scale it's pretty bad. they need to be on the higher density side of built to rent communities greater than 10 units per acre in townhome styles without garages in my opinion. it's a slow model and the entitlements take forever, BTR communities are suburban mostly which have lower rents and thus lower values.

Each carrier will evaluate the property and determine what the cost will be and that's why each carrier has a different premium for the property with generally 85-90% of the coverages being the same.If you feel the dwelling is low see if they have a guaranteed home replacement endorsement that can be added or 150-200% dwelling coverage to truly protect yourself in the event of a total loss.The market is going to be like this until 2025 most likely so the easiest thing to do is raise your deductible without sacrificing coverage.

Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option

43608 is rough and out of hundreds of deals we have done over the last 10 years, never touched 43608.Only a few streets are decent but even then, I wouldn't buy in the area.It's the "bang on doors with a shot gun and bullet proof vest" type property management style heheEach to their own tho.43609 is decent but can also be a hit and a miss so will depend on the exact pocket.Wishing you much success

If the price to replace is within budget I'd do it because you're putting out a newer/safer/more reliable product.2) Cost to replace the entire systems is tough to gauge without knowing the building size and style...

If we were to see major changes in zoning and redevelopment we could see some LA style gentrification of neighborhoods.

We sacrificed A LOT.

The "old way" (fundamentals) never go out of style.

Then there is the issue of styles and types.One can ask the same question of a several successful investors and get a different answer from each, all good answers.
