An investor should actually work backwards from their Target ROI, to  determine what to offer on a rental property:Determine reasonable market rent, NOT the highest!

I have identified properties in a particular area I want to target and want to reach out to the property owner to see if they would sell.

Typically I would just run it through my name but there are areas of ohio that target out of state owners if its a single family and will send you fines and violations  for every little thing. you also should talk to your attorney and accountant on how it impacts taxes

I am targeting duplexes on the same street.  

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I have never had a Facebook account, but I recently learned about the value of targeted Facebook ads, so I've been considering joining.

They should not have been this off and you should always use the worst-case scenario as your target number when you are doing a flip or BRRRR.If I were you and a sale wouldn't net enough, I would do mid-term rental there instead of long-term rental so you can earn more, but still not have a ton of tenancies.

The towns you're targeting—Rochester, Dover, Farmington, and Milton—offer great potential, especially for flipping and buy-and-hold multifamily investments.
