I've had a few borrowers looking at Toledo as well, Alex is right about the lower acquisition costs for sure. 

What I'm looking for is a partner/mentor, maybe another wholesaler like me, and even an investor who's looking to purchase properties in the area.

You know, I remember when I was just getting started myself... it can feel like trying to drink from a firehose with all the information out there, but places like Bigger Pockets really make the journey more manageable.

I would like to use short term rentals to free up some of my time to spend with my growing family.I am interested in learning everything I can as I look for my first property.

Thanks Jonathan, I've been in about 10 properties in the last week, so I'm definitely on the ground.

She liked the house and said it showed well but found another option that worked better for her family.

Then it becomes more and more likely.

We are seeing co-living investors be able to obtain strong cashflow vs. the traditional long term rental where price points are below $320k or so.I'd pick a sub-market that you have confidence in holding over the next 5 - 10 years.Personally, I like the northern parts of the metro (Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville) for LTR and Dekalb, Clayton, Fulton) for Co-living.Feel free to ping me if you'd like to chat - happy to help!

It seems like they are ok, but it will come up.Right now, you are hoping someone else doesn't find out and you would need to disclose what you know when you sell.

It’s amazing how life can come full circle, especially with your roots in Birmingham, Alabama, where you’re now building out your next venture.Flipping homes is a great way to start, and transitioning into the BRRR strategy for rentals sounds like a solid plan, especially with the growth in select Southern markets.
