I’d prefer someone investor-friendly who understands rental properties, DSCR loans, and how to structure ownership as I plan to grow my portfolio. 

I do need more understanding on this matter indeed.

For me, the biggest pain point hasn’t been the cost of capital, it’s lenders who don’t actually understand how a real rehab schedule works.

The basement renovation will cost around $300K.My understanding is that it doesn’t make sense to do a cost segregation study now because we don’t have rental income to offset yet (we’re operating at a loss).

I plan to meet with realtors while I am there to get more of a understanding of the markets in those 2 states. 

While it’s true the tenant pool can shrink a bit during the holiday months, it’s definitely still possible to find a solid renter, especially in a strong market like San Antonio and with a well-priced 3/2 in a desirable area.A few tips:Price it right and market it well (photos, clean listing, broad exposure) and you’ll likely get interest, even in November or December.Consider a lease that ends in spring or summer (like a 15- or 18-month lease), so you're better positioned for future turnovers in peak season.Best times to rent are generally spring through early summer (March–July), but life happens year-round—there’s always someone moving due to job changes, family needs, etc.If your place is rent-ready by September, no reason to wait.

I’m excited to connect with other investors in the area, learn about the local market, and exchange ideas and experiences with like-minded professionals.I’m looking forward to learning from the community, discussing strategies, and gaining a better understanding of investing in Ohio.Thank you, and I’m excited to participate and contribute!

As someone who has real estate investing and sales experience—and as someone who has worked through these scenarios firsthand—you have to understand the difference between sales comps and refinance comps.

But because I live in lovely California, I am feeling extra stressed out about even being able to move forward with the FTB $800 per LLC threat over my head since it’s so broad any semblance of managing anything at all is ripe for audit even with RA.
