The city benefits from stable employment sectors like healthcare and education.Challenges include older housing stock needing repairs, slower economic growth, and stricter local codes, so due diligence is key.

It's heavily dependent on what the tax code allows and who is interpreting the tax code.

@Chris Seveney LTV is above 1.25, potentially seeking 68K on 82k purchase, monthly rent at $1200 in 38106 zip code.

@Volodymyr Flis What zip code?

I’d love to hear where you’ve had success—or what markets you’d avoid.Any insights, recent experiences, or even zip code-level tips would be much appreciated!

Bonus: color-coding makes it easy to see if I’m on budget.3.

I wish I could find a pro bono lawyer willing to take on Dutch and RAD Diversified REIT—not just to recover lost money (which seems impossible at this point), but to actually prosecute him for running a Ponzi scheme and put him behind bars.

Some zip codes in Toledo have good cash flow and stable tenants, but some are just cash flow traps.

Did a quick Google search... if I'm not mistaken, Belleville requires a new CO for any unit being turned over (especially after renovation).Sounds like they’ll inspect both units to ensure the entire property meets code even if only one is being re-rented.

Even if I’m not planning on STRs right now, knowing how other investors use those rules is valuable context.Thanks for sharing your expertise, it’s the kind of real-world nuance that’s tough to get from just reading tax code summaries.
