I like Stark and Summit counties because it's where I live and know the sweet spots for decent schools yet lower property values.Massillon is a very strong football community that breeds a "born here stay here" mentality.  

Sweet deal!

Pittsburgh is a great market to house hack and the numbers/types of properties you are referencing is generally a sweet spot for this type of thing.

Happy to send a screen shot of the portfolio to anyone who wants to see, it just won’t allow me to attach pics to a reply.The "trick" or "secret" is simply to find the sweet spot...Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-15% (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B- You can find higher ROI on paper if you look at lower priced properties…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.

After everything closed i went back refinanced my primary residence paid the equity line and got a sweet 2.6 rate.

You’re trying to take away that money and it wouldn’t really be a sweet deal for me.

Pretty sweet deal if you can pull it off.

Follow the jobs and you'll find your sweet spot.

.$100k a year and also built a lot of equity which opens up a lot of doors as well.Here is the primary target...Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $150-$300/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B- These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.
