I feel it's important to get that information into the investor complaint to give whoever reviews the allegations a 30,000 foot view of the variety of warning signals on full display by this outfit. 

Your biggest problems here are going to be how to properly qualify someone, what to do if someone stops paying, footing the bill if you have a big repair item, finding quality and reasonable vendors/contractors to fix things, and keeping track of payments.If this isn't you, give me some more context of where you're at and I can give some better insights. 

@Silas Melson, I agree with @Bruce Woodruff that a price per square foot approach is likely to be the least accurate and least useful.

In regard to the best interest rates, the market is pretty fragmented so it's best to check around wherever you are looking to establish your foot print. 

I'm a new investor shopping in the Cincinnati market, and I just want to make sure I'm starting on the right foot. 

I am new to the real estate game and got my foot in the door by purchasing my first property as a live in renovation.

It may well form part of the bank valuation in terms of square foot, and it may be covered in the habitation license (the habitation license would cover house + annex), but it will be treated differently and need to be closed off for rental.

Reposition the property to a higher and better use. 4 years ago we purchased a 10,000 square foot building used as a music school.

Feel free to reach out if you need anything while you are getting your foot in the door with real estate.

This is a 2500 sq foot 3 bed 2 bath both sides.
