I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Paying more to guarantee getting the product versus jumping through hoops (short sale) or possibility of now owning it at all (auction).I'm only asking questions to understand!

Usually with an on site maintenance handy man versus the heavy costs of commercial services.  

Nothing really appealing to me as an accredited investor. let's refine your approach.Contrarian bet on B class office needs to be 50x equity or something

Jason Hartman and team referred me and is currently happy with them so I would say they're a safe bet.

That’s the best bet.

They can also be more forgiving on condos (warrantable versus non) at times.

If your comps were sold by a real estate agent and you are using them to justify your price, that is like trying to sell your car at a car salesman's price instead of an owner's price.In any case, if you need to lower the price, make sure that the price drop is a decent amount versus a "drop in the bucket."

It is a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back out and hedge your bet.

I would also share pros and cons of paying taxes on the windfall versus owner carry.
