I have started to make offers on some deals in Columbus, hopefully should be able to close on one within the next 2-3 months if not sooner.

We ended up dropping the price to $69k and just took an offer of $65k.

I told them I didn't want to do the consortium deal, so they offered me another one where I would need to pay a 30k USD down payment and have an EIGHT PERCENT INTEREST RATE.

I would not offer internet.

In the end, it's your decision based on your comfort level.If I (my risk profile) were you, based solely on what is above, I would not go for the 3rd property at this point.

I am also concerned that at that point new HOA might have to raise the fees significantly or charge lumpsum to the condo owners based on something that might come up.

Collaborating with local real estate agents or property managers can offer valuable advice and support.Good luck!

Also, Hostfully offers a nice digital guidebook. 

For analysis purposes, how do you determine the max number of people (max rental income) per month when offering hot beds?

I live in and invest in Tampa so I’m biased but you truly can’t go wrong in either market, Tampa is going to be a little better on the appreciation side and Orlando will offer slightly better cash flow opportunity whether it’s multi family, single family or short term rental.
