-Rob,Greg, and Al I'd start with a real estate agent sending you all the new construction 2-4 family styles that have sold and pick one that is small and compact and sells for a premium.

I need to replace the AC and furnace at my rental property, (ranch-style home of 1256 sqft.)

Seek advice from legal and tax professionals to establish the most suitable structure for your US investments.

@Alexander Merritt   IMHO low end rentals are only suitable for local investors that are in the landlord business and are going to scale up and own as many as they can get 100's have your own PM and maintenance and that's the ONLY way in my mind that stuff will work over any amount of time.buy the best that you can if your just starting out.

Sometimes, these deals may lack the margins necessary for a prudent investment.If you ever need assistance evaluating deals to determine their suitability for your investment goals, I'm more than willing to offer my expertise.

All downtown columbus adjacent zips so 43203, 43205, 43206, 43207, 43223, 43222. would love to talk economics with you and send our floor plans see what you think and style you'd rent 

Others that did sell and could not find a suitable exchange property went the DST route.

Really depends on your preferred style.

Now, you've got to buy right, furnish it with some style, and hire the right real-estate photographer.

It looks like the regulation will go the way of permitting and hotel-style taxation
