Hi Yu Jin,Dayton is a step up from Toledo but also comes with a step up in price.The numbers make sense in many Ohio cities.You make money when you buy and not when you sell.So look for off market (We do a lot of direct to seller), negotiate hard, buy with cash and buy quickly.Great deals don't last so you need to know the numbers very well in your target market.I've flipped hundreds of properties in Toledo since 2014 and am glad to say that I know the market like my back pocket.All I need is the address, scope of work and how much I can buy it for.Quick access to AREIS, the MLS to run comps and "ka ching".I know if it's a deal or not.Immerse yourself in the market and become a market expert on the numbers.Nothing comes easy mate and all good things take time.If you are looking to build a rental portfolio in Ohio you have to build a big one.Buying 1 or 2 properties and expecting a significant impact to your bottom line from a net-worth or cashflow standpoint isn't worth the risk IMO.In all sub $100,000 markets, it's important to build a large portfolio as there is a high likelihood that you will have repairs and vacancy on 1 or 2 properties at any given moment.Just my opinion and all the best.

As once they start reducing the Fed Funds rate, prime will come down and so will interest costs on HELOCs.

I realize this will include 2 closing costs, but would be more to hold and pay interest on hard money loan.

But the deal is still horrible. 

You would need to factor in the cost of the conversion as that would likely create a loss, then we would need to know your depreciation schedule.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Having trouble analyzing this deal as there are so many variables and I do not have the experiencing analyzing deals to make me feel comfortable taking the risk.Purchase price of the land would be $250,000 not including closing cost or fees, and construction for a new 3/2 home with an attached 1/1 ADU is estimated to cost around $300,000 - $400,000 finished.

•Strong Financial Returns: With typical CAP rates around 9%, and an average cost of approximately $530,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath fourplex, investors can expect an annual income of over $60,000.

Also, should it be a separate LLC for each house?
