Might have hit it during a maintenance or something 

You might hit a few bumps in the road...tenants who imagine due dates are more like suggestions, or unexpected repairs that crop up at the worst possible moment...but that’s part of the ride.

If one of those people doesn't pay or they move out, you're taking a hefty hit on your cash flow for sure. 

While it’s not impossible to close in mid December and still meet all requirements of the STR loophole, it will be extremely difficult due to the nature of hitting 150 hours, having it rented for 15 days or greater and having the avg stay be no greater than 7 days and not a decimal more.

If you're looking in Ohio, I can recommend hitting up Kurt Weil. 

Connecting with local realtors who specialize in investment properties is a great move — they can help you spot opportunities before they hit the market.

Here in Columbus, we're still seeing deals here that hit the 1% rule with positive cash flow and lots of potential for appreciation.

If your gonna hit self in head with a hammer I'm not gonna cry for ya when you get a headache. 

But its definitely one of the three issues.  500k houses should generate at least 10% of revenue all day long or you should sell the property there and buy somewhere else that gets that.I would actually guess if you're open to all areas, you can find something that hits the 12 to 14% revenue. 

Some of my Scottsdale connections who specialize in land deals have been whispering about how a few smaller outfits in Casper.. from what I’ve heard, outfits tucked behind older storefronts, have been matching buyers with off-market parcels that never even hit the usual channels.If you line up your financing carefully (no legal or tax advice here, just speaking from experience), you can sometimes lock in a deal that ages nicely over tthe years.
