Families with small children will avoid the property.

Is it within small claims limits?  

Jeremiah, here's my advice in a five-year plan so A) is patience:Year 1) start a single-member home-business LLC for FREE using bank bonusesYear 1-2) build a 720-800 FICO for FREEYear 1-3) season the LLC for FREE and target a 80 PAYDEXYear 1-4) save some cash by cutting back for a few yearsYear 4) study 10,000 properties for FREE and build a teamYear 5) target a small starter commercial project (4 units or more)using the LLC PAYDEX and 800 FICO when it's a buyer's marketrelying on good financials for the property more than your job6) rinse and repeat and SKIP RESIDENTIAL!!!

The town I live in is very small and half of the population is US military so most of the Real Estate is US style homes for rent, can't say that I have much knowledge on any else. 

In the words of the immortal Biggy Smalls, "even your moms will set that *ss up properly gassed up, hoodied and masked up, for the fast buck, she'll be laying in the bushes to light that *ss up"

So I have several of market deals on the table small multi family properties 6-8 units.

There's also a new graduate school there, increasing even more the demand for rentals, in this case higher end rentals.I'm drawn to the idea of a new small apartment. 

Looking to move into a few long term rentals, single family or small multifamily, in the KC market in 2019.

I am looking to buy my first small multifamily  property and am wondering what local banks or lenders you have had good experiences with?

I’m actually about an hour east of Cleveland Ohio in a small town, and go to college in Youngstown.
