Land has been for sale 100 years with no for sale sign and you drive by it every day.

One other thing you could consider, if you have great sales skills and decent knowledge of your RE market, would be investing in some off market leads to try to wholesale - I personally don’t love that option, but there are some people out there that have the right skill set for this.

Make sure we're accounting for the appreciation, cost of the sale, cost of the purchase and one of my favorite factors, the risk.

Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.

And when those all got called and we had to mark to market it was beyond our capacity to just pay everything off we had to fire sale and lose millions.

Especially if seller just received a windfall from the sale it is definitely worth suing for damages.

Purchase price: $575,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Sale price: $775,000 This was a tough one.

As you mentioned, it might be difficult timing the sales of each of properties where you can achieve a combined exchange (multiple properties into 1 property / or a few properties).Just a quick note that may be helpful - I work with a group of investors that can help with a combined exchange into a single property and will buy it back once you've found a replacement propertie(s) as the final destination for your capital.

Even open houses on occupied rentals are a bad idea.If you want the highest sales price possible, you will have to list it on the MLS. 

Columbus is an absolute goldmine right now - it's got robust job growth, a booming tech and university scene, and consistent strong rental demand.
