HI, I'm a new wannabe investor from abroad, due to low budget I have started to look and analyze opportunities in Columbus, Ohio metro.
i find estate that does not publish on zillow (i call that "off market" ;) ) at a really low price, but the house condition is bad, and It should pass a deep rehab..this house in good suburb, and the meaning ARV of the house in this area is between 131-188K (it's depend on the analyze method), the house offered in the for 60K and i sure it's can be decrease - the problem is that i dont know and dont have the tools to estimate the rehab expenses. the rent estimate is 1500$.
what do you think? What is the next step?maybe that kind of beginning is to harsh from aboard, and maybe should i transfer this opportunity to a local investor will glad to

 If you are a new investor to Columbus, Ohio I would recommend that you steer clear of major rehabs like this. You should start with a more turnkey property and meet some contractors by calling them out for minor maintenance requests. Then after you have a solid lineup of subcontractors, tackle bigger projects like this.
