Also, consider joining local real estate investment groups in the Ashtabula area - even if you attend virtually.

I am considering starting a new real estate business in the Denver area and would love some feedback on the idea.

Always perform thorough market research and verify the numbers on any property you consider.

That's a pretty low offer you're considering.

If it has significant upside value, you should consider flipping that yourself or find a partner who knows what they are doing to flip it and split the profit.

I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

And the condo debacle in FL will be churning for quite a while as these rogue HOAs try to get realistic with deferred maintenance, new requirements, and freedom for people to use as they need to afford them.One thing to consider would be to 1031 all of them in a consolidation exchange. 

Although 2024 was generally considered a seller's market, based on what's going on in the new and the real estate market --- Do you think 2025 will be a buyer's market or continue to be a seller's market?

And if your investor friend’s private loan helps fill in any gaps, it might be worth considering that short-term pain for long-term stability.What do you think you’d focus on first... paying off that line of credit as fast as possible or jumpstarting the renovation to boost cash flow right away?
