I recommend looking into areas near economic bases - close to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, New Albany, etc.

For my real estate investor friends, we have always underwritten our deals based on the deal cash flowing under current market conditions and not speculating on needing to refinance when rates are lower.

Hi Steve,You could put a second position loan on it - like a HELOAN but this will be based off of income/tax returns.

When stock brokerage fixed commissions ended the average commission immediately dropped 45%, and kept dropping through the years to where its now zero.  

Hi Inga, You may refinance based on the ARV with a DSCR loan, with no seasoning period. 

A solid base of steady income with a low return and exciting, headache filled days with sellers, contractors and buyers to make a little extra cash.

You could be setting yourself up to be paying a lot more interest to the bank than you would if you waited out the rates to drop some.All the best!

Split the proceeds based on what each person put in. 

You can decide to STR or LTR based on the property and the particular pluses and minuses, but I wouldn't let either strategy guide your choice of home, really the other way around, let the home guide your strategy.

Also, touching base with a local real estate attorney can be super helpful—they’re always in the loop about the legal landscape.Don’t forget to leverage local real estate groups and networks too.
