This means understanding the neighborhoods, pricing trends, and what buyers are looking for.

Unlike our real estate investment, there weren’t hefty transfer fees involved in either the purchase or sale.

I can absolutely understand how these experiences have drained the joy out of owning rental properties.

I don’t understand how this isn’t a clear-cut case.

Lastly more to my point - I thought you worked for a MF syndication in the past that I was not sure but wanted to mention and that you are not just someone coming off the street having never been involved in a deal (unlike a lot of others).  

Most people cant afford that alone which means a syndicate or getting PMLs involved and doing the synd yourself. there's nothing wrong with starting with some smaller properties.

I'm looking to understand how the Columbus market may stack up for opportunity in BRRRR's.

Shouldn't be any extra taxes involved.

I get the purpose, I understand how it can help some newer folks earn extra side money, BUT I feel like there should be way more discussion on how to protect the lender, how much time it will take, what all is involved, nuances, hurdles etc and discuss those more. 

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.
