I've driven by it a few years ago.Great job!

You can list all the reasons why you charge $250 for a one-time shoveling, but nobody will care when there are other vendors doing the exact same job for $100 or less.I'm in a city of 10,000.

@Michael Almand, for a full line-by-line breakdown and scope of work, my preferred contractor will charge about $250 to walk the property but will credit it back if he and his team are given the job.

My job is to submit bid and negotiate only.  

I want to connect with more investors, wholesalers, real estate pros, anyone and everyone as I look to not only do my job better but grow my portfolio.Looking forward to networking and learning from this great community.

Steady Growth – Home to Ohio State University (the largest college in the U.S.) and major Fortune 500 companies like Cardinal Health, Nationwide Insurance, and L Brands, Columbus attracts a steady influx of students, professionals, and job seekers every year.Strong Rental Market – With a growing population and a high demand for housing, rental properties are in constant demand, making it a prime market for investors.Affordable Prices – Unlike other hot markets, Columbus still offers below-national-average home prices (around $275,000 median), giving investors a chance to buy in before prices climb even higher.

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Just make sure you do a diligent job when vetting tenants.

Personally, I bought a 3 bed single family home soon after starting my job and had two friends from college rent which covered my mortgage plus a little extra.
