Some reasons why so many people are flocking to invest in this cosmopolitan community would be:- Low inflation- One of the safest cities in Ohio- Low cost of living- Growing metropolitanSome questions you might want to ask yourself is, Do you have your power team in place?

By the end of 2022, the real estate market was volatile: low housing inventory, rising mortgage rates, and inflation.

Costs of rehabs have gone up significantly with inflation so these things fluctuate over time. 

Not many tenants are going to move out if you raise their rent from $1625 to $1775 and a similar new place is going to cost them $1850 or more.In recent years with inflation and rent prices going up so much, I have raised rent on renewals more than people were used to.

That being said, real estate has proven to be the best hedge against inflation.

And oftentimes their prices actually artificially inflate the market much like an unsophisticated rehab investor or buy and hold investor would.  

@Abigail Dickinson, Given the historically low cost of money and probability of inflation to come the best position is to have as much long term debt as you can. 

Add all that up, add 20% for maintenance and inflation, then divide by 360.Or just put $150/month aside.  

That cash is being eaten away by inflation and really only serves us well as an insurance policy (against repairs, maintenance, CapEx, and other similar losses).

Their communication was really poor; their maintenance costs were inflated (especially for KC); they have lots of "extra fees" for the property owners and the tenants (not good for retaining good tenants); the owner was shockingly unprofessional about disagreements between him and the turnkey provider who we bought the house from (not the guy you used) who placed us with Voepel (granted, I now think the turnkey guy does sloppy remodels and I wouldn't buy from him again); and their terrible mismanagement resulted one of our tenants demanding to be let out of their lease and threatening to sue because of unresponsive property management, which we knew nothing about until it was too late.If there is a problem with a property it is very tough for the tenant to get in touch with the people needed to correct the problem.
