If you are willing to settle for 15% or thereabouts, you might find a deal that works.In my area, we are steady.

I ultimately settled on Columbus as my target market and haven't had any regrets as the years have progressed.

I am leaning toward renting it out as is and finding a multi family/duplex when rates settle down. 

can put the property under due diligence and check with the county if its possible to get a variance for the multi and settle based upon that contingency 

I'm a Dad to Logan 9, Lucas 6, husband to Wendy.I've spent the last 11 years as an entrepreneur in the digital marketing world, primarily focused on physical product eCommerce (I own 2 brands that operate on Etsy and Shopify), and most recently having kinda accidentally built a few 100k social media following as the Carnivore Dad.I’ve been interested in and attracted to real estate for years but I just made excuses that had me staying in my lane of digital marketing, however I'm here now and eager to learn.I settled on Texas as my primary state because I have family here, I love meat, and I’m interested in firearms.

If you settle i would understand the consequences of that on your insurance.

If you'd be extremely happy with rentals that generate 12% cash-on-cash return, and you come across a couple of those before the market turns, there's no reason you shouldn't put the trigger.But, if you'd just be settling for those 12% COC deals, and your goals require you to find 15% COC deals, then you might consider waiting.There's always risk when waiting -- what if those great deals don't come for another year? 

Hello BP Community,I've been following the social media channels closely and decided to hop on here and say hello 👋🏻I'm Marco, and I'm 29; I was born in Italy, traveled the world with my wife for the last four years, and eventually settled in the Canary Islands for 1.5 years.I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and have worked in tech for the last five years, which eventually granted me an NIW green card.We (my wife and I) hold a $1.2M+ portfolio of 4 self-managed short-term rental properties (across the Canaries and Italy) and a long-term property in Rome, Italy, that we rent out to students.

My business partner/PM kept going back and forth until we settled on a deal with A2.

If that sounds good we can settle on a date.
