Boils down to cost control, rent up occupancy and rate management.  

You'll quickly learn that many investors who acquire deals in Atlanta implement a rent-by-the-room/co-living strategy.

Expected rent is $1750.

These are areas where you can cash flow in Columbus because the rent-to-price ratio is favorable.

I'm considering a commercial property (16 - 1Bed1Ba units) with a current annual rent roll of $170K fully occupied.

@Eyouel DemissieThe $30k in back rent doesn't really matter at this point since the current owner, or you will never see that money. 

@Rakesh Battula, before even looking at the true financials like Nikolas quickly did, there are some things that don't make sense:1: If it is 100% occupied, why are you assuming anything about free rents with estimates.  

Plus, they wouldn’t be able to charge extra rent or additional security deposits specifically for pets.Just a heads-up – these new rules wouldn’t apply to rental agreements signed before January 1, 2025.Where Are We in the Legislative Process?

Ideally, I would be able to find a deal with a monthly rent to price ratio of 0.8% (for example, a 250k property that rents for 2k).

If I'm trying to determine how much to rent an LTR for I'll also use Zillow to see what others are asking for similar homes and how many people have reached out & applied.If I'm trying to determine how much to rent an STR for I'll use the enemy method, AirDNA, and estimates from property management companies.
