(Additionally, Case law has allowed the inclusion of water charges when calculating monthly rent when paid by tenant with rent)Section 5321.16 | Procedures for security deposits.Ohio Revised Code/Title 53 Real Property/Chapter 5321 Landlords And Tenants(A) Any security deposit in excess of fifty dollars or one month's periodic rent, whichever is greater, shall bear interest on the excess at the rate of five per cent per annum if the tenant remains in possession of the premises for six months or more, and shall be computed and paid annually by the landlord to the tenant.https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-re...This is why we (and all the other landlords I know) quit doing pet deposits and started doing 'non-refundable pet fees' 

Contracting is more expensive, and codes/approvals is more complicated, but it's still manageable. 

Hi @Niv Nissim,We are wholesalers in Jacksonville and would love to connect.Just reach out if you have any questions about zip codes or neighborhoods. 

That said, there are plenty of things you can do to mitigate these risks.You can start by creating a list of every city or zip code in Ohio that you might be interested in investing in.

However, the wording is in the ADU code.

You will just quit your W2 job and become a self employed property manager.So if you are looking for retirement income you should factor in the cost of a property manager, as well as turns, vacancy, repairs, and Cap Ex, which will probably alter the numbers you are expecting.Also add into this, personal asset protection set up and ongoing costs, as well as accounting advice, bookeeping costs, and tax preparation costs if you intend to go in that direction, and not do it yourself (which if you DIY will make you a part time tax repairer and also not retired).Many people get into this because they want to retire, but in reality it seems they are just quiting their job to become self employed.

You'll have a lot to learn and you may buy wrong property and you may run into buzzsaw Neighbors or get into problems with zoning or code enforcement...originally posted by @Jeff Dzado:The short version, with direct questions: I've started analyzing vacation STRs in different areas of Washington state.

You can search by zip code so this will give you a good idea of what you can expect in terms of Section 8 rent.Then you'll want to determine price of rent per room for the rent by the room strategy.

@Darren Berg how did you select those zip codes?

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
