There is less desire on my end but for a young person, the city is the place to be.The only thing that will change that trend is if what young folks like -- bars, restaurants, activities, gyms, entertainment venues, etc., -- start to leave, then you'll see the "exodus" out.

Given the rehab, we were actually able to rent it for more than what we had budgeted for.

My property manager was able to get it rented for $100/mn more than what we budgeted when I planned to buy the property after the facelift we did on the property.

It’s a class D asset, average market rent is $500-550.What should be my budget?

Already blown a budget with the need for structural reinforcement.

When my clients buy properties on the MLS, I make my standard commission but I also charge 25% of the budget as a fee for managing the project.

Now, I attempted to increase value by adding a whole new finished basement w/o blowing up the budget - the house appraised for $150K due to the full bath and basement added.

MY SWAG - In order, most likely to be delinq (NOT default):1) Shared office2) Hotels and self-storage3) Entertainment venues (movies, gyms, concert halls, restaurants)4) Office (if there is a shrink in the econ and WFH catches on)5) Industrial (since it's shrunk pretty much)6) Multi-units (same number of people and same number of apts need a place to go). 

Until you can double your budget, you're better off staying in Columbus or nearby - at least you'll know the neighborhoods there.
