I live in California, and from a price standpoint, other states look much more attractive for investing.

If you’re working on keeping your DTI healthy by reducing debt, boosting income, or restructuring loans you’ll be a much more attractive candidate for financing.If you’d like to see how your numbers stack up with today’s loan programs, or just want to share your thoughts, let’s chat!

Most people think you need to own property to make rental income.Not with midterm rental and corporate housing arbitrage..Here’s the play:➡️ Lease a 3+ bedroom house for $2,500/month➡️ Legally sublease it to relocating families for $5,000/monthThat’s $2,500/month in cash flow (before utilities).With utilities ranging $300–$500/month, your net cash flow is still $2,000–$2,200/month.That’s $24,000–$26,400 a year per house from a property you don’t even own.This isn’t about chasing tourists.It’s about providing real housing at 2–3x the profit of long-term rentals — without the headaches of Airbnb.I teach people how to do this step by step, just like I’ve done myself:✅ Securing landlord partnerships✅ Setting up properties the right way✅ Attracting reliable tenants on autopilot➡️ Connect with me for more strategies on midterm rental and corporate housing arbitrage.

The city also has steady rental demand thanks to Ohio State University and a growing workforce, and you can still find properties in the $120K–180K range that cash flow and hit the 1% rule, which makes it attractive for both long-term and mid-term strategies.

Portland isn't much of a draw right now, it has negative attraction with Antifa, Bend is too far away and frankly the Oregon Coast outshines the Washington coast unless you like grey, rainy ocean beach and most people don't.

These are  renovation that fall within price points that customarily attract contractors who require up front deposits.

I’d suggest keeping an eye on neighborhoods near Purdue as well as areas with easy access to major employers as they both tend to attract stable tenants.

Question, what makes Newark more attractive than Jersey City, in your opinion?

Expanding to a three bedroom will likely attract a stronger tenant base and bring in higher rent, which makes the extra investment easier to justify over time.

Instead of chasing, you attract people ready to talk.Can be systematized and scaled once you dial in your market.Cons:Costly upfront.
