It's a FREE meeting of landlords and flippers that is featuring a speaker from Columbus Building and Zoning Services.

The average rents that I have seen for either a 2 bed or 3 bed row/town house has been anywhere from $900-1200 depending on the cosmetic upgrades and features (i.e. garage, outdoor space, etc). 

In New England, there's a lot of diversity in features. $1,500 is certainly the median rent for this type of unit. 

I'm on the road now so can't access the "connect" feature but I you reach out to me I'd be happy to share my knowledge.

Redfin.com is the next best thing to having MLS access...also HomeSnap.com, they're both connected to ARMLS and they both have private notes features where you can track and make notes on each property you're watching (although Redfin is eliminating that feature, write them and ask them not too!!)!

The area I live in, the properties don't need those special features to appeal to a tenant.

Interesting to hear about the AC - I know one thing I'm going to struggle with is not adding all of the things so I need to concentrate on learning what features will add enough value to justify the cost in my market.

-i searched on google maps and it has this amazing feature that allows you to see the street in "3D" so with the mouse on my computer i "drove" around the neighborhood i would like to wholesale in, (where i think the best deals FOR THE BUYER) will be, not for my personal gain. with wholesaling, when doing research on properties, its easy to get excited about what you can potentially make, but anyone who has read "think and grow rich" knows that any profit is a reward. my motivation for wholesaling houses in the "hood" is because it is my home.

I am worried that I will have to get rid of bamboo which is one of the most attractive features of this house.

I think it would make sense to put some of your funds in the Roth bucket of your 401k.And the loan feature of the 401k will give you the ability to access some of your funds should you have a need before retiring tax and penalties free.
