High praise coming from you Steve.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

Every PM operates differently, and at the end of the day, there is tons of information you can navigate on your own in the beginning stages online, but surely there will be PM's that would be more than happy to assist you on journey. 

Wait until it's close to the end of his lease (know what the law requires) and then give him notice that you will not renew.

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

I think it is fair to say that there is somewhat of a tradeoff between markets that provide positive cash flow on day one and relatively high appreciation-based markets.

luxury cabin, 3100', 4/3/1, nice finishes including spa and sauna, in high fire risk area with total property value ~$500k with CA FAIR was just over $5K fire only. 

To simplify the scenario I'm envisioning let me put it this way: what does a BRRRR look like when one of the parties contributing to the down payment and rehab costs ultimately ends up being the renter as well?

Let's assume the financials in the package are good for a moment (they probably are not) AND that you either do not or do achieve the broker's pro forma:If you purchase this asset, achieve ONLY the 'current' NOI, grow NOI 2% per year, and exit at a 5% cap at the end of Year 6, you will have a 4.8% unlevered IRR. 

Especially in Dayton, where you'll get that high cash-flow.
