The feedback was that combining the parcels allowed them to drop some city requirements regarding installing screening in front of the dumpsters, so it saved a small amount on construction cost.Interesting topic, but understand if you are just focusing on the deal itself for now.  :-)Sincerely Joe

We were looking at a $115,000 condo, but the insurance deductible was $25,000!

Not every lender would allow for rural, nor STR income to qualify... but they are out there.

---Tenants are also allowed to break their S8 lease if their home is broken into and they fear for their safety.

The extra income from the extra units might allow you to do more than break even in saving some of the cash flow you would usually have to put out. 

Ohio's housing market can offer more affordable options compared to other states, allowing you to potentially find a property that aligns with your budget and future plans.Let me know how I can help! 

This will allow you to recover from the purchases and have cash coming in.

Please note, some states and localities do not allow this and it is illegal in those states and localities (Cities and Counties).

It isn't necessarily a worse situation, but it usually means that you will not get the same tax deductions.

I would assume almost everyone who replied it was a steal or they were paying multiples of his fees  aren’t working a w-2 with zero deductible work expenses and a couple long held long term rentals.
