@Nick WimmelYou can get decent cash flow and demand for rentals is likely to stay strong in the area given the proximity to major job centers in Cincinnati and Dayton

Keep learning, stay consistent, and reach out if you need help running numbers!

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate. 

., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.

Their view is that an arcade game is cool for 10 minutes, but a PS5 is something that they would enjoy for their entire stay. 

This way I get paid upfront for my work 1-2k plus I know I have another payday at some point in the future if the deal closes.The costs to fully develop a property and sell for near retail usually involves the costs below and takes 2-6 months or more in some cases, but the profits can be huge if you're working in markets where land costs are high:Title 200-400Legal 500-2000 depending on zoning issuesIf wetlands are present AND its a buffer zone project: 2000-5000Perc & septic design if needed 1500-3000Treescaping & cleanup for retail sale 500-1500Selling costs of 6%I tend to stay clear of properties that need more than the above expense items.  

So on numerous occasions, I have expressed my concerns about staying within my budget.Now on top of this, the property manager let the pipes freeze and they leaked and the boiler also cracked which I was told to file an insurance claim.

If tenants stay one year on average, you will need to show 12 units for a 12 unit property every year.

The landlords aren’t staying silent either.

My first impression is that your numbers in the current economic climate seem a little rosy.I also have friends that are builders and I try to stay in touch with them on costs as we mostly do "to the studs" renovations when we buy a place.
