build it instead of buying it. especially in the 5-50 range you are going to get garbage that's 80-120 years old in c neighborhoods. i can find land in almost any zip code and make the numbers work in columbus. or partner on a project locally. just my 2 cents but build to rent is much stronger right now in my opinion in columbus than buying existing assets 

That's pretty low for a 3-BR - I'm seeing the FMR for a 3BR in that zip code is $1,850.But at $1,300 for rent, you'll probably find HMLs that may lend you around $120k if you have a good credit score in my opinion, which means you'll need $45k + closing costs.

Thank you for your input.Keep a cheat sheet for your property(ies) with color brand/codes for each room and common info needed such as appliance info, fridge opening HxW, etc...Paint should be standard sets of colors for all the properties you have.Flat means hard to clean, repaint it all.

The septic needs to be covered, the roof needs to be replaced, aluminum wiring needs to be upgraded from 60amps to 200amps with romex according to code.

If you'd like more info or a referral code let me know.

How many bedrooms does the property have and in what zip code is it located?

It is a bad idea to screen and then show homes with a smart lock code that I can change? 

Once you do that everything needs to be brought up to modern code.

If the seller was also a builder and has plans, that could be a great shortcut, especially if they’re already approved or meet local codes.

They see a renewal of the current business tax rates, regulation and permitting rules getting slashed, tax code being simplified, and federal deficits on a one-way ticket down the elevator (which are a longterm drag on economic productivity).Just look at the growth in tax code complexity over the last 20 years.
