I'd recommend mixing in more commercial to balance out multiple assets, buy a liquor license for a few hundred thousand, etc to make the deal work a little better. columbus hospitality isn't as strong unless you are in the urban core but even then I'd go for a lower risk asset class like multifamily and retail mixed use. hotel is very strong operator but management intensive.

I am trying to run some numbers in a few areas but am having trouble finding the deal within my buy box!

My property taxes are high - around 9k a year.I’ve been out of touch with the market this year dealing with an illness and I’m trying to make the best decision cause this is my lifetime investment and extra income.

Get familiar with timelines and outs in the contract if anything pops up that is a deal breaker. 

With a househack, you could possibly get low 6's with a buydown or a sweetheart deal, but I wouldn't plan on it.

Occasionally, if the deal isn't as good lenders will require you to fund the rehab out of pocket.The problem you'll likely face is getting renters in the storefronts.

Purchase price: $169,000 SF new construction What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Aloha Julian, Just to add onto what everyone has said, 1-4 unit deals (residential) are typically underwritten differently from 5+ unit deals (commercial). 1-4 units are easier to close and you get more money for them because of how DSCR is calculated:- Residential (1-4 units) DSCR = Gross Rents/Mortgage Payment- Commercial (5+ units) DSCR = Net Operating Income/Mortgage PaymentIt's important to note that in both cases above, there are exceptions.

You can build relationships with wholesalers who know your market and can provide you with leads on "Off-market" deals or you can use an agent to find something on MLS for you.

It helps getting a good deal on a property and securing financing.
