Second, dont build "tiny homes" unless you are very very close to a high density city where you have the demographics of a LOT of single or young couples that will rent them. 300-400 sf tiny homes are trendy and catchy but are a very niche market in reality.

It truly depends on the rehab amount (if any), rent rates, the market, and the population/demographics of the area.Now when using the 70% Rule, a rule that many investors use, adhering to this rule will most likely, cushion the deal providing that protection first, then profit.Now there are strategies that may omit the 70% rule.Here is an example of when a 70% rule becomes obsolete: A person comes to me and says he owns a home with a $100K note on it.

Demographic trends are favorable for long-term buy-and-hold, considering the Lehigh Valley is the fastest growing region of Pennsylvania and Allentown specifically is the fastest growing city in PA. 

Quote from @Dominick Johnson: I think this has a lot to do with your age demographic.

They have some overlap but each platform seems to have its own demographics.  

@Bryce Lewis Welcome to BP.I recently commented on another post with some one else having a similar dilemma to yours.Even tho we are a turn key operator I am happy to say and believe that if your patient enough and spend the time building trust and relationships with the right people you can establish a great team on the ground and not necessarily need to buy from a turn key outfit.Spend more time doing due diligence on the people rather than the stats or demographics of an area.Thanks for reading

The overall market is strong, as we have most demographics covered throughout our city.

The typical demographic for a townhome is 2 of 3 individuals sharing a house together. 

Who is your target demographic?

My preliminary thought would be that Sandusky would provide similar demographics of B-C areas of Toledo and Cleveland, without the D-F areas.
