This project highlights our commitment to high-quality living spaces in Columbus.

However, with a SFH you will lower your standards when vacancy arises more than one month as you have no income coming in to male that payment.  

Based on the quality of this particular home, my rent estimate may be low.Note: you have to consider other factors.

CAN they actually price, start and complete a remodel thru to finished presentable and sellable quality?.

Insurance companies are taking a close look at building materials, quality, and updates. 

My advice would be to partner with someone who has additional funds so you can buy something that is of quality. $8k won't get you anything in a class B or A market with 20% down or even 10% down. keep going though!

They still all use standard HUD forms though l imagine.I'm curious is it federal,state or county legislation that creates changes between HAs?

One capex issue or tenant turnover is going to eat up years of "cashflow".I would advise you to work on getting a smaller number of high quality units rather than scaling to 20.

Lots and lots of research.Price points also help, block quality, etc.

Here is a question i'm wrestling with and would appreciate any advice on: If you plan to invest in an out-of-state market, should you partner with an investing group based in that market... or would it make more sense to simply find the highest-quality mentoring program, regardless of location?
