Thanks Ken, will reach out once I have done my homework on what the different neighborhoods in Columbus have to offer.

Do your homework on the property to know EXACTLY what you're buying and getting into.

The math said we’d easily make $150k/yr and more wouldn’t add to our happiness.

All the best BTW 99.999% of accountants can handle it, it's simple math. 

However, my math leaves me a bit short in terms of $$$... $375k * 0.75% (max LTV) =  $281k - $218k (current mortgage) - $15k closing costs (est 4%) = $48k.

With current rates my mortgage would be about 4600$ and doing basic math i would have to pay about 1300$ to live in one unit.

I'm not the best at math so am using, what I think, is a more common sense approach, but seemed to make sense to me.

Back of the napkin math, I think I'd cash flow more getting into new Maryland property than keeping this...at least in the short term. 

I signed up as a pro member a year ago, but just now making a new member introduction.My main reason that I am finally making an introductory post is that I am signed up for the May Rookie Boot Camp and assigned myself preparation homework to do some networking on the BP forum and to make an occasional post.My goal is to find my first cash flowing real estate deal in 2024, so this introduction is my first earnest effort to get out of my comfort zone and start connecting and learning from the voices of experience.Sincerely,Joe

how do you do the math on that though?
