Staying liquid and ready to move on a deal when the right one comes along is always a good approach.If you're looking at buying, I'd focus more on long-term fundamentals over short-term speculation. 

It's great to hear about your success with this multi-family buy-and-hold investment.

Your buy-box would also have to be a lot more narrow. 

Would I buy 5 pr 6 at a time and do a lease to own?

I make money indirectly when people buy "desktop" because a few of them buy my book on desktop... but I recommend "online" because it makes it so easy to collaborate with your accountant.

@Jordan Lisnow Did you end up buying the seller financed property in Florence?

don't be afraid of better markets in ohio like columbus. depending on the capital allocation buying old houses and having to renovate is not the only way to drive value. build rent refinance repeat and build to rent are both very strong market drivers as well and you can traditionally get infill land in areas like columbus in much better locations than where you buy.
