I recently lost my job, have about $150k in cash to invest, have a few cash flowing rental properties, and really want to use the $150 to maximize cash flow so I can avoid a regular job and focus on real estate and starting a new business. 

Jamari's local market knowledge was crucial in securing the property for $165,000.

-- can this be altered if a business pays the premium? 

Track record…I like that they’ve been in business for a while, but I’m not as comfortable with their history in industrial (maybe I didn’t dig deep enough).

I was afraid and called local fire station and they didn’t do anything and then I called insurance they suggested to get help of any water restriction and insurance will take care.

As I'm sure you are aware, real estate is a hyper local game in which markets vary by the street.

Network with local real estate agents, wholesalers, and other investors to find off-market deals.

Most businesses start factoring in CC transaction costs into their sales prices, so eventually this comes back as a pass-through cost to customers.

I'd recommend speaking with local investor-friendly agents who can weigh in on YOY property value growth and rental increases for all projections.Lastly, if you are going down the STR route, choose a property/area that will still allow cash flow if the property was used as an LTR.

Use tools like BiggerPockets Real Estate Forums, Local Real Estate Groups(REIA), and the Cincinnati Apartment Group to meet local investors.Good luck!
