With minimal risk and a clear path to profit, this deal aligned perfectly with our strategy of maximizing returns through strategic, well-timed real estate investments.

Most will tell you STRs are a lot of work and I won't disagree with that if you don't know what you are doing.I will say though, we have been able to put together some rock-solid systems and processes to streamline that to minimize the work and maximize the returns.My business partner and I are actually writing a chapter in a new book that is coming out this year about unique stays.

The downside to this strategy is that I would have to pay additional closing costs.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in finance, a commercial real estate certificate, and a minor in building construction and project management, with a focus on energy-efficient housing.

And let's be clear, it's not a bad strategy for many folks.

@Alex NgThis is an interesting business model, and I don’t think having Section 8 tenants automatically means more issues.

I moved here from Los Angeles two years ago just for the real estate market in Columbus.I would definitely recommend finding an investor-friendly agent in Columbus that you connect with and who understands your investment strategy.

(Another option to the above scenario is to instead have the LLC lend my father money to complete the rehab so all the repairs are made in his name...but then the LLC would get no tax deductions on the rehab, plus my father would wind up paying interest on the loan and the LLC would incur taxable income on the interest of the loan as well.)I've said a lot here, but It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can give me advice on the best strategy to pursue...Thanks!

It can be a great investment strategy!
