I would be pouring a lot of effort into underwriting with the potential to acquire the property.Since I have not seen Cap Rates on commercial properties anywhere near that, I assume you may be referring to a single family, duplex, tripex, or quad.

what I'm telling people about hilltop is the only reason it's going up is because of the average housing price in columbus being pushed and the lack of inventory. when I started I'd have bought here too. if I was going to invest here I'd look at houses built after 1947 without knob and tube wiring, etc. the old housing is the problem. we are building now in downtown adjacent. land is a buyer's market and it's much less competitive and easy to get the numbers to work. there is very little construction in 43204 and I've transitioned to new construction triplex now with entitlement and larger multifamily projects feel free to message or call anytime. personally, l like new construction in 43203, 43205, 43206, 43223, 43222 right now and obviously 43215 which you have to have at least 600k in cash to get the land to entitle and want to build at least 100 units to make it worth it. 

Response to #1: Some lenders allow for layered entities while others want warm bodies/natural persons to be direct managers.

Any advice, tips, or personal anecdotes you could share would be greatly appreciated as I contemplate taking the leap into the world of Airbnb co-hosting.Thank you all in advance for your insights and guidance!

Have you been going to meetups in person? 

Stop looking at properties online and go out and see them in person.

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

From my understanding, the only real concern with taking the latter approach is if the other person on the mortgage/deed is someone that you could potentially not trust.

James,The benefit is keeping it off of your personal DTI, funneling into an entity, and simplifying the process as a whole.
