I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

We have been with DLP over 5 years now, extremely happy with them.

Finding one that makes sense financially is extremely difficult. 

So I have had a seller reach out and we have negotiated a price that’s extremely good deal for me.

I have had to deal with this multiple times as the daughter and Niece trying to sell houses that weren’t  retail ready and it’s extremely stressful, especially if your dealing with a nursing home demanding financial proof that you can pay.

QBO is nice because any accountant or bookkeeper should be extremely familiar, plus it automatically pulls bank accounts, which saves some time. 

I just saw a post that asked for extremely detailed financial analysis simply because they didn't want to pay a pro to help them.  

The challenge is, it is extremely hard to find deals most the wholesalers here are now working directly with hedge funds willing to overpay for anything.

If they are extremely diligent about doing things like that, it makes everyone's life easier.  

I suggest attending local RE meetups as they are going to be extremely beneficial to you as you are starting out.
