One of the most important and harder parts of my job is helping investors determine what metrics make a good investment for them. 

We sometimes run across investors with multiple entities requiring an avalanche of paperwork to allow them to invest in one of our syndicated investments. 

It has a rent roll of $16,000 per month.

Here is the median list price for Columbus, Cleveland, and Detroit for the last 5 years.Which one sticks out to you? 

You could keep wholesaling, finding deals off-market, and buy one of the deals you find that fits your criteria. 

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

No, you’re missing the fact that when you buy a house fully furnished you can roll in the cost of the furniture into the purchase price and get it all financed on a 30-year mortgage (depending on appraisal price of the home, YMMV).

The one caveat I have about that area is that it is starting to be classified as a declining market.

A question I have been pondering within myself for some time and figured here would be a good place to get an answer.I currently own a home that has close to 100k in equity in it, we plan to move in 3-5 years to our long term house and would be sizing up a fair amount.So my question is should I use the equity to fund investments/projects, or should I save it and roll it all into my next house so I can have it paid off sooner/lower my monthly.

But as a short-term solution, playing the 0% credit card game can be an option, but from my experience, juggling from one to the next with no backup plan often ends in paying high interest in the long run.
