I charge an application fee for every tenant that is serious about renting, I use this money to go towards a year supply of toilet paper, nice and trendy soaps from Marshalls/ross, paper-towels and other essentials.

However would like to know if there are any other areas that might have the right level of supply and good rental income.

There is less supply of properties in Columbus because there are more owner-occupants.

Throttling supply does not make prices go down.

Right now it is hard to predict rent increases since there are a number of factors that go into what rent rates are including supply and demand of housing, interest rates for mortgages (low interest rates turn renters into buyers), inflation, and prices of homes sold.I know the BP calc has a box for implementing rent increase but I usually leave that as 0% and only plan on what current market rents are and count on any increase being the icing on the cake.Tax rates are also more complicated than just a % of the sales price but a great lender can help you estimate the exact tax amount of a property you are going to be buying.
