From that deal we bought our next and first fix and flip property the following year.

Occasionally I'll see properties coming on the market where the seller has a VA loan with a low interest rate.  

I am based in New Zealand and own 4 properties here, but keen to explore investing in the US. 

This is a very popular incentive in the city of columbus where tax abatements can lower taxes by 3k a year. on income of 60k for a traditional triplex that we build that would be lowering operating expenses by 10% if you assume approx 40%. it makes a big difference but I was wondering if anyone has actually seen the benenfits over time from holding these properties or investing in similar areas in urban core adjacent through renovations or new construction. there are benefits to selling them obviously but please comment if this applies to you!! 

Hi Eric, I use Doug Lyons with Lyons Home Inspections for all of my personal properties and all of my clients.

I have 3 long term rentals, but this is my first time with commercial property. 

I could move over to Cleveland to use the same property management for a similar deal?

Unless you still want to buy the property, the seller is in breech for not closing because you are full ready to close but they haven't or refused to sign anything.In NC if the seller breaches, the buyer can sue for specific performance.

This will be built and hold properties.

I am an investor and agent in Greensboro and would love more info on the property!
