Congrats on jumping in!

I've been investing in Ohio for a little bit, and I can tell you, it's been a great market to continue to invest in! 

You should always have cash set aside as reserves, going all in is very risky and foolish regardless of the investor. 

Quote from @Jules Aton: Sometimes tighter regs and squeezing out new competition makes it better for those grandfathered in.

It comes down to the market you are in.

I have heard great things about Kansas city and heard it's a good market to buy in.

I know probably most you chiming in is a loan broker and all are competing for chance to earn my business if I let you go out and search for the best rate for me.I would like to know from lenders their prerequisites for a DSCR loan?

For example, in Columbus, Ohio you can still find properties in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow, and the long-term story here is really strong with population growth, job growth, and big players like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, and Microsoft moving in.

I'm not sure how expensive the area that you live in is and how willing you are to move. 

You know Henry, I am starting to wonder if self-storage is the BETTER inflation adjusting vs standard rental real estate, for this specific phase of economy were into and continue forward in.
