Then when and if you desire your units are sold at the nearest appropriate time, which usually will mean as soon as  another willing buyer or the syndication sponsor group buys the unit(s).

I really have no desire to do a ton of maintenance right away, so looking for a "turn-key" type property with good cash-flow (COC ROI - 14% or more).  

I am starting to pick a tone from other  individuals here in BP that drive and desire to conquer a market only answers part of the acclaimed question "What do you really want?".

Then research these market places to see if they have the desired metrics that make them conducive for REI FOR YOU! 

West is definitely where the desire and the density is heading aside from Ankeny to the North. 

Fair market rent for a property is based on things like number of bedrooms and baths, size of the property, condition of the property, amenities, desirability of the location, etc. 

You have to be very careful when you are the best option in your little area, that you don't overestimate the desirability of the area.Why would I live in your building surrounded by crappier buildings, when I can live in the same style new building surrounded by new buildings for the same price?

Let's say you buy a 1500 sq ft home on a big half acre lot in a desirable area, tear it down, and expand it to 4000 sq ft.Would you go by sold houses price per square foot in the same area?

I do not discriminate against military - as I am a veteran - which is part of the reason I gave these three military females a chance, even though 2 had less than desirable credit.

@Lennon Lee I agree with you that it all comes down to their desired lifestyle they want to create for themselves.
