Highly recommend partnering with a local realtor who knows the market. 

I have been very successful in helping clients acquire Airbnb homes and creating themes and uniqueness for their homes to be more appealing and marketable.

@Nick ConnorsIt’s great that you’re using your savings to invest early, and Columbus could be a solid market given your familiarity.

Or do you want to generate off market deals.

The benefit to buying cash and refinancing later is that you can close on a property quickly, which works in your favor in competitive markets.

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.

@Ella Marie, I can't speak on behalf of your market, but in my respective market, competition is tough, and the successful fix-and-flip vendors are often full-time operating businesses.

My weekly podcasts will also help you get a better feel of our market and then might help you learn our market quicker and with more data. 

I hear people with success direct mailing and cold calling, finding off market deals.

I’ve looked into blanket loans before, but I’m curious about how they’re shaping up in today’s market.
