Besides all the benefits of real estate, I like the control I have, and I like the discounts on the purchase price, I'm able to get. 

If you're located in WI, check out Premier Point Realty and Homestead Realty....both offer the licensing course at a discount and some of the lowest fees/commission splits in our local market.

For example, I invest in Indianapolis and there's not many 3+ bedrooms with 2+ bathroom MTRs so if I was looking to cohost I would go after a larger property to target the undersupplied market. 

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

If they're going to force an eviction, I would want either 1) to just wait until it's done and keep extending the contract (if you're in no rush at all) or 2) ask for a substantial price discount to deal with it yourself.

For fix and flips I want to stay away from total rehabs and focus on properties that need minor work such as kitchen, bathroom, paint, outdoor improvements, etc. 

Rent in the neighborhood is $895 for a 2 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bathroom, so for 4 units it will total up to $3,580 ($1,073 difference).

Focus on key areas first (like floors, walls, kitchen, or bathroom), which may help you handle the costs more gradually, even if it means moving in furniture or updating fixtures down the line.Also, since the tenant left it in rough shape, be sure to document all the damage (photos, receipts) in case you decide to pursue reimbursement through their security deposit or in court.

I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Especially if you're doing enough volume to get good discounts on products.
