It is hard to pin down specifically, but that seems to have been a factor in a few of the ARV-Appraisals that I've seen and has impacted the refinancing process.Otherwise, it has been a great market for my clients, great cash flows and repeatability which has really helped as they have scaled.

We manage several hundred rental properties throughout the San Diego market and I found your post very interesting. 

@Nick ConnorsIt’s great that you’re using your savings to invest early, and Columbus could be a solid market given your familiarity.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

It's not difficult to find tenants if the property is marketed correctly.

Milwaukee Cleveland Toledo great markets.

These %percentages are market dependant.  

I agree very market dependent. 

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

I think it's the best market in the whole country in my opinion.
