Just North of Spring Hill in Holiday or in Crystal River you can get a better bang for your buck but it all depends on your comfort level.I am over in Pinellas County by Madeira Beach/Treasure Island and 4 units over here are about the same $650K to $800K depending on year built and closer to the beaches.

@Emanuela HallIt all depends on your long-term goals, your reserves, and your risk tolerance. 

Also, the insurance companies are fleeing Florida so I'm definitely not making as much as I would from selling while things are still good.Talk me off the cliff or push me over please.To me, it all depends on the properties and what you’re going to do with the funds afterwards.

Neighborhoodscout Ohio cities for this century:- cleveland: 1/10- Cincinnati: 3/10- Toledo: 1/10- Columbus: 5/10 (one hits average)I chose Ohio cities because of the mass Ohio posts from Ohio agents, turnkey providers, etc.  

My experience is entirely in Cleveland, OH but I've heard Bentonville is providing good cash flow

Depending on your area of course.

In New York, depending on the deal of course, many properties require 25+% down payments in order to cashflow.

If you're purchasing a new primary you can tap an FHA loan for 1-4 units with 3.5% down, if you can secure a seller concession it could limit the amount of equity needed..if not a new multi family primary you'll need a larger downpayment (15-25%) depending on the property type and occupancy.

(Business income or loss) Not if substantial services were not provided 

It depends on the terms of your agreement.
