So, if you’re looking for long-term growth, Columbus is worth a look.Cleveland is another solid choice with 3-7% appreciation and strong cash flow between 10-18%.

I typically see that the tri and quad options were converted very long ago and very poorly done and pretty much all of them are full gut rehabs. 

My wife and I are moving to Virginia Beach area for work and we are wanting to Airbnb our home!

As we are just starting our initial research on which markets we would like to focus on, we came across, Shelby, NC.  

Typically they give you 30ish days to get the funds and in the time you might be able to find a new lender but every bank is different.Yes you'll still be able to claim the tax benefits as long as you qualify even if the property is in your LLC.

We are trying to make a choice between using Datazap (3.5¢) per name, vs REISkip (24¢) per name.

Interest is long term appreciation though some sort of positive cash flow would be ideal.thanks so much !!

I'm also looking to build a reliable team, including an agent or property manager, to assist with this long-term investment.If you have any recommendations for the area, I'd love to hear them.

Also, after 6 months like you said, I believe you could easily get a cash out Refinance with a DSCR option that would be in the 5% rate as well.If the owner is not interested in Owner Financing, as long as this a 1-4 unit complex, we could get you financed at 80% of purchase, 100% rehab at 11.25% Interest only, I may be able to go as high as 90% of the purchase, but I would need additional information.

We are late in the game for this years sale, but I am also thinking the bank may step in and pay the lien on the residence, allowing time for discussions with the Owner.
