What I realized, it was a blessing in disguise.

@Olu Efunwoye I personally wouldn't pay for this, $40k for a coach? 

Hi all,I’ve been a long-term landlord for over a decade, then I started hosting my personal vacation rentals in 2021 and now have started hosting properties for others.

I absolutely, 100% realize that I need to be the one to pay the tax bill.

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.

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.

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.

STRs that I could use for personal use (family vacations) once or twice a year.  

It also depends on your price point and budget. because this is going to be your personal residence, at this point, I would just keep aware of city news and developments, and neighborhood pockets.
