Renovated it, lived in it for 2 years then moved on.

There's also a lot of mid-term demand in this area from people moving down and waiting on their home to be finished.

So same thing as an agent pick a technique and stick to it.Myself personally when I started as an agent I did not do follow up like I should have but what i did do was become a CLOSESR  If i got in front of them my success rate was very high so thats where I put my energy and my moto was next..If I could not close them first meeting I moved on the next. 

I intend to buy another multi-family home in 2025, but not sure I would want to move.

With that being said, Columbus is one of the hottest markets in the US right now with some of the fastest population and job growth and companies moving and developing here.

Looks decent.Some things to consider:Holding Costs - you will be paying your HML interest only payments for however long it takes you to renovateA Full Gut for 60K seems too good to be trueRemember your ARV / Refinance interest rate are moving targets.

What are your goals for this property (e.g. why are you getting into this)?  

This is more of a reach goal for me since I am still in my "collect 4 green houses before trading up to a red hotel" stage, but I thought I would ask the hive mind anyways.

You love the house and there is a likely opportunity that you may be moving back to the Austin area.  

If they choose not to accept the rental give them x days to move without penalty.
