Hey @Aquilas Zephir Congrats on setting up your REI company and aligning with your strategy! 

Definitely agree with Glen, focus on your strategy and narrow down the final details. 

And if you can determine which strategy to go with and it makes financial sense, you go for it. 

I know people killing it in Dayton but I'd recommend looking at other strategies like buying land and building single and multifamily in columbus. you can get lots right now for 30k or 40k within 1 mile of downtown in Franklinton, king Lincoln, olde towne east, southern orchards. land is a buyer's market and low competition.

In this environment I wouldn't put all my eggs in the STR basket.If your insentent on this then you must put a lot of effort into vetting the area, the rules, the property etc to make absolutely sure a given property will cashflow with conservative numbers and what your exit strategy per property is if they don't go as anticipated.

failure to pay is like an automatic win in court and I have had multiple issues with these people I had poor tenant selection for this one.

Your best bet to find cash flowing deals are either off market, or a BRRRR strategy. 

It offers practical advice, diverse market insights, and inspiring stories through interviews with successful investors, in-depth discussions on various investment strategies, and listener coaching calls.

For sure I always wanted to try it out, and see if I can grow using this strategy. 

Heck.. even @Bill Brandt brought up an 'investment strategy', j/k... but it's solid advice.
