We have an extremely competitive market, huge demand and low inventory.

They used lasers to find the low spots and used "push piers" to lift those areas. 

I also watch occupancy rates and adjust if bookings are low.

This seems unrealistically low for a 40 unit property.

And the laws and regulations here are very different, not very strict like the states.Prices are high and rents are low over here.

You can still achieve it, but finding deals that actually pencil out on all criteria (low enough purchase price, low enough renovation cost, cash flows on the backend, all cash out at refinance) is pretty hard.

There was positive population growth, medium home price growth, low unemployment, good rent to home ratios, and low crime, all of which are factors when I start looking into an area to invest in.  

We invest in Greene County, Ohio and currently have 24 low income units. 

The model becomes very problematic in low quality assets, and sec8.

Low barrier to entry, low taxes, landlord friendly, some amazing class A and B suburbs and a strong urban core.
