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

Reason is what happens if the home needs repairs, do you have $ to cover it or if prices dropThey also will typically want a personal guaranteeYour best bet would be to find someone you know as the conventional private lenders will view this as too risky

They are not strict with tenants, they buy properties in tenant-friendly states/counties, and son on.I would bet you that if one of your RE 'friends' would come on here and show us their business practices, we would see a poorly run business.Anyway, never listen to the naysayers, it sounds like you are set up well and you're on this forum, which gives you a huge advantage.

Ask specific questions, this is your property and you have a right to know what is going on.If he still does not respond, then I think you have to at least call an attorney and make sure that you are proceeding legally (for your state).I would bet @Nathan Gesner would have some ideas on this.....Good luck!

I do think the contractor who came in person seems like a trustworthy guy but it’s the first time I met him.Lastly, should I be the one to provide a contractor agreement for them to sign before getting this work done?

Nothing really changed $0 vs $1 I bet listings still for most part offer co-op and if not lenders would cover it, etc.
