ya I always wonder what the big attraction for those that live in income tax ( state) see in Texas where there is no income tax at the state level.. and pay those kind of property tax's then pay state income tax on top of it.. 

Now I'm not saying that above-average finishes don't attract more buyers to sign on the dotted line, but unless the appraiser notices that quality, the buyer will still need to bring $$ to closing. 

I saw 818 W Main St Ashland OH listed less than 70K, which is very attractive price for me.

MattYou can get 75% ltv cash out with a DSCR loan for the same rate/points and not have the hassle of producing taxes, paystubs or W2's. 

My overall plan is to keep this property long-term as an income producing property.

Keep this in mind as it impacts potential rents, quality of tenants you will attract, and the quality of finishes needed for a BRRRR. 

Maybe these are silly questions to someone much more experienced, but I would greatly appreciate any advice, metrics to look at, or links to any additional resources that people have found on how to attract and maintain a tenant long term. 

Mix that with a couple other items to clean the place up, so I can continue to attract good tenants that expect crisp, clean units, and it gets pricey.  

High-end rental producing premium rent Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I have seen a few people go down this road thinking that cheap trailers will produce big cash flow.
