The strategy may change, but every market can work.

Much like other markets in the Midwest, investors go to our market because of the low barrier to entry.

In my market the valuation with f/f non commercial financing is typically lower than the hands off cost of adding the ADU.  

Hi RickeyAs a first-time homebuyer, you have great opportunities in the condo market.

If things go sideways, you discovery greater rehab expenses, the market takes a turn for the worse, you can get in the red quickly. 

Do this quickly because some counties have a time limit on when you can appeal.I recommend you research the market for:- Comparable Property Sales- Condition of your property, including anything that may affect your property's value- If you are really serious, an expert appraisal may be worth the effort.

Any insight would be most appreciated.Hi Melissa, I work with quite a few canadian clients in the Columbus Ohio market so have tons of experience with this!

Are you investing in your local market?

There are several myths that we have to debunk before someone truly believes they can do it.You need millions of dollars to do a dealThat it’s too complicated to figure outThat permitting takes yearsIn those communities developments cost way less (think a couple hundred thousand along with a loan from a regional bank), permitting is not difficult (much less red tape), and the towns are small enough that both the city staff and the local architects and engineers and contractors all work with you to help you navigate the process since you’re all invested in making your community better.Note: The big boys can play in the primary & secondary markets.

Can you suggest a few good insurance providers that operate in that market?
