Hi Glenn, I moved to Cincinnati 5 years ago. The OTR renaissance is here to stay. At this point $1 billion dollars have been invested into the neighborhood. Enough condo, townhome, and business owners are invested in the neighborhood to not let it go to pot again. Good luck in your investments here. I'll send you the name of a realtor who knows the neighborhood like the back of his hand.

Hi Parker, welcome to Cincinnati investing! I'll send you a private message with my realtor -- he is great!

Hi Jen - did you end up finding a realtor? I invest in small multi-families occasionally. My partner is my realtor and does an excellent job. I'll DM you his name and contact info.

Hi Debbie, welcome. Also Cincinnati here. Hope to meet you at a Meetup or about town. Good luck!

Hi Sterling, welcome and congrats on starting out. If you find an interesting deal and need to bring on a co-investor feel free to reach out. 

 Nice to meet you both. Sadly, with the changes in the tax code with 2018 tax law, two years is no longer enough to avoid capital gains tax. I think you have to live there for 5 years now. 

Beautiful work... nicely done!

Thanks @Lee Smith and @Steve Babiak for the good perspective. Seller proposed a great compromise. Feeling good about it. 

Thanks @Jeff Greenberg. So in your opinion the language I want to use is not unreasonable? I'm debating how hard I need to stick to my position on that wording (e.g. Do I walk if seller won't agree to the wording)? 

Perhaps I didn't word the question well. I trust the person who did the inspection. The problem is clear: water getting in... lots of it, where it shouldn't be. However, the solution is not clear. It could be a number of things.

I do not trust the seller, specifically, and I want to make sure that the work he does solves the problem.
