Basit is right - for most tax payers you can only deduct insurance premiums when they are actually paid out of your escrow account, regardless of coverage dates. 

Hi Eunice! I have been in Columbus for a handful of years now and have invested there. In my experience the city as a whole is on the upward trend towards being mature, but there is potential for catching lightening. It really depends on which neighborhoods you target. There are some neighborhoods, such as Clintonville, German Village, Short North, that would have been huge opportunities 5-10 years ago, but have since matured. However the city as a whole is experiencing increased growth at a steady rate, schools are improving, infrastructure is improving, and therefore some neighborhoods that you wouldn’t have wanted to focus on five years ago have the potential for big returns now and in the next five years.

Hello! I have been poking around the site for a few months now so I decided to introduce myself. I am living in Columbus, Ohio. I'm about to close on my first property and I'm pumped to make real estate a serious hustle. As a CPA I'm hoping to get in on the support side as well as the investor side. I would love to hear from others in the Columbus area and grab a drink!
