Some variation of this question comes up in the forums pretty often, @Jack B.

A) You're going to want a steady income stream, B) Over the next 1-2 years you're going to have less and less time and energy to make any moves.

I do NOT own the A share of Berkshire ($315,000) I own some of the B shares ($210).  

Just be sure to modify your lease so that is says, "Tenant is responsible to pay the rent for all 12 months of the lease, unless they cannot pay the rent for reasons A, B, C, X, Y, and Z, and then they can move out with no penalty." 

Hi All, I would love to get a list of areas/zipcodes to explore/avoid in Columbus, Ohio.Looking to invest in SFH up to $150K, B/C class locations.  

Currently I am looking at purchasing my first multifamily property for short term rentals or an air b&b however I am having a hard time finding out the best way to finance it.

I will get my property manager to float the reduced rent as plan "A" and reach out to the coaches as plan "B" , I like that idea a lot. 

@Jimmy O'Connor The location is N Marshall Street just a block north of Cecil B Moore.

Because the financing is different for buildings with more than 4 units, as you may already know, you can't really use a per-unit price on a 4-unit and extrapolate to a 5 or 6 unit :(Instead of looking for comparable sales, you usually end up having to apply a market cap rate to the net income (NOI) of the property, which appraisers call the "income approach".As for what's a "market cap rate", well that's about as much art vs. science as (in some way) choosing good sales comps are.For a B area of Providence I think you'd be safe using a 5% or 5.5% cap rate, but if it was an A area like the East Side you might want to go with 4% or 4.5%.You should also ask around as I certainly haven't done any market survey of cap rates.
