This was also the case in my area (Saint Pete) which has just started enforcing more.

Hello,I’m a new college who made a goal to buy my first rental property by the time i’m 25 (which would be in 2 years) and am starting my career as a commercial real estate broker in Grand Rapids, MI.

Talk to a local realtor who works with investors to see if $2600 is realistic for rent and who you'd be marketing to-likely a smaller tenant pool.Most people who rent fall into different categories-those who are just starting out and saving to buy their own home, those who move around and buying doesn't make sense and those who will never buy a home (either can't save the down payment, can't get approved for a mortgage or plain and simple don't want the responsibility of owning a home). 

I'd like to invest back home in Ohio eventually (I lived in both Columbus and Dayton for about 5 years each), but I'm much more comfortable starting with something I can see regularly. 

The Reno market has a lower cost to entry and strong appreciation.

We are finally starting to see indications of some deals in the Smokies. 

they came and started, getting 50% complete and have been finding excuse after excuse to push us back.

We show them all the deals we have gone full cycle on and that we have a strong team with proven success.
