My first owner finance house were the owner carried the note was where the seller and myself talked terms on the first visit and then wrote up the contract on the spot.

Dayton is a very unique place and there are area's in pretty much each local zip code that I would buy personally and areas that I would not.

I don't really want to go out of state,   If I can't visit and be personally involved with my properties I might as well buy into a REIT or the stock market instead.The triplex is a more modern building that I've sunk a lot of work into and is in nice shape ; It just recently got upzoned to residential small lot,   and I currently intend to hold for another 3-5 years,   then it will get traded up as well.So I'm not getting out,  but I have modified my next-level plan to trade up and out of the seattle market.

I have been researching and visited Valparaiso, Indiana and am looking to buy multifamily or single family for  rentals both near the University and not near the University.

I've got the unique pleasure of seeing a lot of management fee structures for properties across many regions too. 

However, if you believe that extends to outside of unique areas like Corktown,  you will find out quickly the reason prices are so cheap.
