Yes I have known it to work because the owner is not a push over, enforces policy and can make it run good......however, do you have the right personality to do this, AND if you move out can you continue to have the house run smoothly with no one in charge.  

@Micheal Singleton I have the perfect person you should connect with.

I personally started in my local real estate market in Columbus Ohio.

Personal criteria, building criteria and area criteria will all affect the way a deal appears on paper. two 100 unit apartment complexes, one in an A area and one in a C+ area will have very different financial breakdowns and interest groups.Want to know if a deal is good (for you)?

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

Not that it cant or wont, but unlikely.If OP applies for homestead on a new property, then I personally would not lie during the application about receiving the exemption on the existing property.

This is basically a math problem that will depend on both you personal finances & also how much of this is an investment vs you want a nice house to live in4.

I personally don't know of their group but figured id link that article since i remember reading it and the name clicked. 

The question is mostly a personal financial planning question and it depends on your preference and what balance of risk and access you'd like and would be comfortable with.

My 4 personal STR's are all in San Antonio did over $575k in 2024 and on track for $650k in 2025.I think you are generally looking in the right areas, but there are a few things to keep in mind:1) Stay inside of 1604.
