You have to understand what is your strategy in the short, middle, and long term.

Terms negotiable.Why Shaker Heights Short answer: Purchased under 70% ARV-Reno, Duplex (two rents), desirable clean neighborhood, decent schools.

There are lots opportunities in easy bay township or downtown Condos (where str is allowed.) direct west of TC has lots str experience opportunities (water front/ farm house , wineries), direct east close to Williamsburg has great opportunities even for long term summer rental to the horse show participant (June to Sep).

These are sometimes called a "concierge service", so you can search using that term.  

Look into loan choices, and check out rent money, lease terms, and insurance needs.  

Hello BP Family,Just wondering your thoughts on New Builds as an investment- whether it be a build and sell or build and hold long term as a rental.

In this market, I'm really struggling with getting a new deal to pencil without a 25%+ downpayment.I have a new STR property that I expect to basically break-even on in terms of both cash and NOI over the next few years.

If you can sacrifice some short term cash flow, Columbus should be an overall better market for appreciation and long term cash flow.

I wanted to invest for the long term-like buy and hold.

@JD Martin a long time voice of reason seems to say at least 75% empty.So either you ask for an extension or cancel the deal as I doubt a reasonable seller would take their property off the market that long.
