I played baseball in Wichita for a few years so I'm familiar with the city and am currently doing some research on investing there.

Owner was a pro baseball player who had it on the market a couple of years for sale at about $3.5mil and after Beck moved out sold it at auction for approx $2.5.    

The house is located 1 mile from the city, and from Petco Park (our baseball stadium).

If there are other heirs, you don't want them to come sue you for damages because the daughter stole the $1M baseball card.I'd lock the property up tight and talk with a lawyer about the process for unwiding this in your jurisdiction.

A fun fact about me: I coach my son's eighth grade competitive league basketball team.

Some were analysts and some were executives with Ivy League MBA’s.

I play baseball there and with COVID going on we really couldn’t practice, so I had a lot of down time and came across real estate wholesaling.

At that point, I decided failure wasn't an option and started doing freelance work and applying to jobs that were way out of my league.

An investor could purchase a 3 bedroom/1.5 bath , 1,200 SF “move in ready” property in Cleveland around $55,000 (off market) but in Columbus the starting point for a comparable property is nearly 2.5x due to market appreciation with much more competition.Other potential factors that could play into market appreciation in the future is the new MLB Baseball Team, the progression of The Cleveland Browns Football Team, and The Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Team.The first year market goal is to own ten rental property units providing safe homes for good tenants in an up and coming area with greater potential than standard appreciation, which is 2% per year.

I like your baseball analogy.
