Disputing appraisal on comps chosen and providing my own comps has not been very successful for me.  

I don't mind not having cash flow as I do have other lines of income however, I definitely don't want to go in negative and I do want my property to appraise over the period of time well and not give me too much maintenance headache.

Adjust for vacancy with you not being able to rent it out during that time as well.

Versus Columbus is 5 of 10 this century (but has done quite well over last 10 years).      

@Robert Brown personally I'd avoid Sosua, as it's a destination for sex tourism.There is also Santo Domingo, which attracts business travellers as well and the nearby beach city of Juan Dolio.

Well done Markkus! 

I used to have a 6/2 on Ohio State university campus north of downtown columbus and I got 1600 a weekend and netted 2500 a month probably. a lot of days were vacant but we did really well all the time for huge groups which is a nice I still recommend and there's not a lot. we just sold a new build for a medium term rental in newark close to intel. there's demand for high quality, well furnished places. 

As interest rates continue to hold steady at an inflated rate, cap rates continue to as well.

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.
