Hey @Andrew Bosco I have not personally done it but some of the biggest data centers are going up in central OH. 

The biggest takeaway from this deal was the importance of balancing renovation costs with market potential.

I have nothing bad to say about them since I haven't worked directly with them and they must be doing something right if they are one of the biggest ones in the area.

The biggest mistake new investors make is to walk a property, maybe explain in general terms what they want and then let the contractor come up with the SoW.For a bedroom this could be:- replace carpet- repair closet dooror- remove carpet- remove curtains, nails and screws- replace closet doors, entry door SKU#- replace window SKU#- refinish hardwood floors 144 sqft, clear/oil-based- prep and paint all woodwork- patch walls, texture, paint walls eggshell white clay, ceiling flat white- replace light fixture SKU#, replace lightswitch w decora/white, replace 3 outlets&covers- install blinds SKU#Obviously, the cost would be quite different.

Everyone is out there thinking Doctors are geniuses and ironically they are usually the biggest dummies in the room.

@Tyler DavisWell....there is a lot happening in Nashville at the moment.The biggest talking point for the better half of the year has been the new Titans stadium and the East bank.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned as an STR cohost, marketer & investor-friendly Realtor is the importance of thorough market research and setting up your listing based on data.

Biggest issue is contractor realizes they have leverage over you, so timeline slips and costs escalate.

And yes, biggest risk is letting it sit for 12 months.

My biggest hesitations with keeping this property is the rental market is pretty saturated and I’ve heard of some investors having to significantly drop their rent or have prolonged vacancies.
