WLB is dirt cheap and their form libary has a huge value to investors - there uis a form for almost every scenario you could ever encounter!

find the deals, learn how to evaluate it so that you can hold conversations with high level investors, get your real estate license to show you’re serious... basically ask yourself when you encounter an investor... are you worth their time?

I've talked with a few contractors from Parade of Homes magazine and am sticker shocked with their ballpark figures.There's a lot to consider and everyday I seem to find a new way to think about the numbers.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research and am tempted to delve into purchasing a fixer upper in the Columbus, Ohio area and holding onto it as a rental and have been wondering how that might look like, given the crazy cost of construction right now.Would love thoughts on what I can expect to encounter and if I should avoid projects that may be too much work?

Total house is about 1450 sq ft.Boiler to first floor (according to sticker) was installed in 1964 and not currently working.

You will hardly ever encounter any serious tenant payment issues, evictions or property damages.

My dad's also been in construction for 30+ years and can easily work on fixer-uppers, but I'm generally risk-averse (and it's my first property) and don't want to encounter a host of unforeseen issues.

I'm mostly looking at small multifamily turnkey properties around 200-500k, but haven't decided on the market, and thus, haven't talked to a real estate agent yet.While running numbers, I encountered a property on Roofstock with a pretty high CoC return even when I included a hypothetical 12% property management fee in my calculation. 

How many problems, costly ones, do you think you will encounter over the next 15 years that will cost you money?

I have yet to encounter ANYTHING that can match it.
