It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

I'm purchasing in Columbus with the mindset of holding for 7-10 plus years for a later exit with equity built 

Zillow seems to think it should rent for $723 and Redfin says $670My real estate goal is primary for long term hold.

* Do I receive video of my pre and post make ready?

Is there more long term appreciation possible if you hold the units longer?

And they execute their investment strategy/model (develop, resell, hold, etc.) effectively to generate a return and/or equity and make a living.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

Newer construction code requires better earthquake-proofing, but it's still aimed at preventing a building collapse rather than holding the value of the structure.About 15 years ago there was all the talk about "100 year homes" but I haven't seen much come of that.

They caught a cool YouTube video and saw everyone else was making all this money so let me join in.

The primary role of cashflow for young investor is to cover holding costs, and create a payment stream that allows the investor to sell a bond (aka short the currency).
