I have been investing in Columbus, Ohio

Typically the biggest appeal to Tempe is from an attracting college student standpoint, so I was curious. 

Hi Aaron, The house is 4 bed so it made sense to try it.

@William StromGenerally speaking condos can have higher HOA fees compared to Single Family Homes, so this can sometimes translate to less appreciation, but that can also mean a lower purchase price, so you can sometimes get better cash flow on a condo.

I was already set to start on a solo path (with the help of an investor-focused RE agent), but now won't even be tempted to check out another turnkey company. 

You will receive the security deposit in Checking but then transfer it to Savings.Savings: Hold the deposit here so it's separate from operating funds.

Hi Stephen,There are plenty of cash-flow opportunities available here in Ohio.

I don’t have the actual calculations in front of me, so bear with me.First - let’s talk about year one - if you buy a property, and then resell it quickly, you will lose money most of the time.

@Becky SwensonThe short answer is yes.long answer is the lease or leases can be a little tricky post closing so it’s good idea to be transparent about your strategy with whoever you end up working with, and as soon as you can before closing take a good read of the documents.

That's why I moved form Portland OR to Columbus OH to start REI.
