Usually all you need is a couple really good comps to know how your property would do and that is easier to find with a paid version of Airdna. 

We were being transferred to that area and went up to look at a couple different homes in the area and that one came up that day, and we made a full asking offer immediately.

I can't remember the cost, not too bad, but no phone callsI sent out 1,000 mailers (letters) I designed in envelopes a week for a couple of years and made a ton of money buying properties using "creative finance" some call subto.

I had a brief F2F with Ivan a couple weeks ago when I ran into him at a conference in FLorida.

@Tod DuBois couple of thoughts:1) If you're getting that many leads - raise your price!

My husband and his partners sold their company, and he is transitioning out of full time employment there in the next couple of months.  

He is renting the unit and will carry a bit of debt for a couple years but once he is clear of that he will do very well for himself.Park owners want their empty spaces filled. 

You can find some absolute MTR gems near smaller hospitals that aren't so obvious but ultimately, housing supply in the area is something I'd say is more important coupled with your amenities.

Thanks Dennis, I think you're right that planning for a more conservative return would be a good idea.I re-ran my numbers at an even more conservative level:Lower ARV: $800,000Lower income levels (I'm assuming it will take a couple years to get up to full potential income, but giving myself 3 years was a conservative estimate):Year 1: 50k (NOI $1,000)Year 2: 80k (NOI $31,000)Year 3: 100k (NOI $51,000)My ROI numbers come out to:1% (year 1) 46% (year 2) 76% (year 3)This scenario seems like an acceptable risk to me, when the upside seems far more profitable.

I've been analyzing a couple deals in the OH market recently to get some practice (my research tells me it's one of the few decent cash flowing markets).
