I think it's a mixed bag. 

But first let's find the sweet spot!

I don't have exact floor plans, so I'm not sure if it would qualify for the 51% apartment sq. ft. necessary for a mixed use dscr loan. 

This wasn't a meaningful analysis for my purposes.If someone doesn't have REPS, I'm mixed on how beneficial it is, but with REPS it seems like a big value add and does seem like kind of a free lunch.

I personally recommend looking into the Columbus OH market - good population growth, lots of job opportunities in a good mix of industries, and strong rental demand.

Hi David,It sounds like there might have been a mix-up in what the accountant was explaining.

You may not be getting the protection you are looking for if you mix personal and business assets within an LLC.Best of luck

Hi @Gisele Sood, there is a mix of free and paid services that can help you retrieve the data that you seek.To gather data on tenant demographics and property demand, consider these resources:Census Bureau & City Data: Offers insights into local demographics, income levels, and household types.Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com Market Insights: Check these platforms for property demand trends, popular property types, and renter data by area.AirDNA & STR Insights: If considering short-term rentals, these provide data on occupancy rates, guest demographics, and property preferences.CoStar & REIS: Paid services that provide detailed market analytics on rental demand, property types, and demographic preferences.These sources can help you understand tenant needs and property demand in your area.

Keeping fingers crossed for a sweet new tool to add to the investor belt! 

The pricing, seller's vibes, location all made it seem like a sweet deal.
