Lots of cash buying in the area.I have also seen some financing buys that must work out to be pure equity/appreciation gambles in that area.In the event that you DO fine a price point that works you will likely have to compete with a favored cash buyer.

The gamble is of course I pay the payment out of pocket during turn overs.

I live on the border of DC so I see an increase in room rentals in one SFH as opposed to one tenant.

So unless you are willing to gamble with your savings, you do not save much time buying turnkey.

I see that they have resurveyed the property line bordering mine within the last couple mos. and saw that it agreed with the other one they had done.

I like to INVEST in real estate, not GAMBLE.....

This also poses risk for short-term mortgages or ARMs.If you're going to hold rentals, my suggestion would be to set a longer-term time horizon unless you feel like gambling...

This house is in far south Grandview near Cass County border (near 150/71 hwy) and is my fourth house in this particular area.  

Beware of Greater Cincinnati Water Works - the water rates on the quarterly bill aren't so bad, but the sewer rates are bordering on highway robbery.

It is on 1-acre lot and I am fortunate the house is located closer to the border line, which I figured would create more clearance on the other side to create a lot.
