@Shayan Sameer I don't have any experience in Ohio but I've had a ton of my clients be successful here in the southern/middle part of the country.

half of my clients in Miami are Foreign Nationals, in todays market ive seen 7-9% depending on some factors but im not a lender, just my experience as a real estate agent

Had a newbie client that bought 5 SFR rentals and called us 3-5 times daily.

I've been doing this for almost 15 years in NJ  and the Client pipeline is the toughest part.  

I'm from Tampa Florida and I have a few clients that leveraged their portfolio to buy new properties.  

Based on most of the work I do with HMLs/PMLs on behalf of my clients, 12% at 70% LTC seems a bit more conservative.

Working with a CPA or financial planner can help optimize tax strategies and ensure the best approach for your goals.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

They do know and want something in place you will have to go back to them to fix, or they're doing their best to go with the client's unrealistic wishes and don't have the guts to tell them that won't work.After dealing with plenty of these, I will tell you what I see works best. 

Just keep in mind that entertainment expenses—like taking clients out for a show or a game—aren’t deductible anymore.And, yes, you can deduct 100% of your education expenses if you’re already a real estate investor.
