We have a mixed bag of federally subsidized, as well as non-federally subsidized rent assistance programs, many which abide by rent assistance Housing Quality Standards requirements.For Housing Quality Standards, screens are not actually required...if they are present, though, they must be in good condition so as to not posed a cutting hazard or other health and safety riskHope that helps

Looking to connect with folks familiar with these areas or similar.Hi Jake, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

Are you a person who can connect and teach starters ?

If you have difficulty showing income or have a high DTI ratio, DSCR loans are a great way to finance an investment property without having to show your personal income.

$400K is a pretty standard minimum for must lenders in the 5+ multifamily.

Personally, I keep my rent increases to 5-10% while not pushing them all the way up to market rent.

I personally reserve 15% of my rent per month for maintenance, capex, and vacancy.

Personally, I negotiate for better price/seller credits + put more money down to min 1:1 DSCR and keep it gucci. 

You may also want to ask them to cross-collateralize another property or give you a personal guarantee to further protect you.

They can and often will say 'no' but if you can just get a 'yes' on a single digit fixed rate you're probably better off than any personal or consolidation loan you may get.
