Hey BP team! 

I'm not entirely new to real estate investing as I took over the family portfolio and did a bunch of rehabs in Ohio (fully renovated 4 buildings/ 36 doors over the last 2 years.)  However, I used a PM and was relatively hands-off with the actual work itself. I have a media business in Los Angeles and am now looking to buy a second home here. I want to approach this as an investment flip that I would live in for the duration of my time in LA (4-5 years). I'm specifically looking in the Tarzana/Woodland hills area and wanted to see if anyone on the forums is familiar with this area when it comes to flipping and/or buying value add properties. It would be great just to talk with someone about any areas to avoid or pitfalls you have perhaps ran into. I'm local to the area and doing a meet-up in person would be great too! 

@Brandon Sturgill Thanks for the reply, yes all good questions here. The property is on North Neil (3 blocks from campus). And yes, it has already been flagged by the city. The building was inherited, and now I'm exploring all options to make a profit where I can (without selling). I've been in touch with some architects/engineers but really am starting the whole process now. Would love some recommendations if you have them? The building still stands, however, the rehab quotes are much more expensive than what the property is worth. Would love to know your thoughts further, thanks! 

@Harman N. That's a great question... would love to know the same! 

BP crew! I own several properties in the North Campus area and one of them is basically a teardown. I own the lot behind this unit and want to make better use of the land. I'm now looking for a new construction company that specializes in small multi-family. Does anyone out there have any solid recos? 

BP squad!

If you invest in Columbus, Ohio you know property tax just went up a lot. Question for other investors out there.. have you ever (personally) contacted the county auditor and worked with them to get your building valued lowered to get a lower tax bill? 

If so I'd love to connect and get some insight before I try and battle the city myself! 

You are the best, looking forward to chatting! 

BP team!! I live in Hilliard and own 4 buildings in the OSU area. If you own property in Columbus you know how bad we all just got hit with the property tax increase. 

I'm currently sitting on 11 acres smack in the middle of Hilliard and want to convert it to an Urban Farm. I love the property, never want to sell, and just want to have some fun with the land and get a tax decrease while I'm at it! 

Does anyone know of a good person to talk to who specializes in getting property ag exempt? It seems like a grey area on all the Ohio.gov sites with little to no details on how to actually go about turning the property into ag use for taxes. 

All help is appreciated! 

Also, we're looking to grow fruit trees and harvest honey through 6-7 hives 

any urban farmers out there!?

@Vincent Gable hey dude! welcome to the forums!! I've found some amazing feedback through this community. I really appreciate you reaching out. Currently I'm working with some guys over at CoreOhio. Everyone in Columbus has positive reviews of them. LMK how I could help in return. Thanks man! 

@Jacob Edwards that's good to hear, and yes... I feel very fortunate! I'm going to be filming everything and putting it on YouTube for all to learn from what happens too

@Alina Trigub thank you! I will do this. Much appreciated
