If the house were in perfect condition, it would be worth around 250-275k but as of now, selling isn't an option because we may use that property in the future for our business. 

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment.

don't be afraid of better markets in ohio like columbus. depending on the capital allocation buying old houses and having to renovate is not the only way to drive value. build rent refinance repeat and build to rent are both very strong market drivers as well and you can traditionally get infill land in areas like columbus in much better locations than where you buy.

Personally that is what I wanted, an active mentor. 

I have personally worked with @Wale Lawal and he is awesome. 

Personally, I've bought older homes since I invest in mobile homes myself.

I try not to let it get personal...there are some members that have been 'inappropriate' in the past, but I will still give them a vote if their post actually deserves it

From my experience working with over 400 investors, those who start with house hacking scale much faster.Good luck!

You're gonna get your houses robbed a lot.
