I want to go the buy-and-hold route, and I am interested in finding a duplex that will provide a steady cash flow, a high appreciation value and does not need renovations.

I would be looking to use hard money to cover the costs of renovations.

I'm still in the process of growing my portfolio, but have heard others 1031 all their smaller properties into a larger building and have a property management company manage, OR, set up a seller financing deal with another buyer that gives you the cash flow you desire. 

The house, built in the early 1900s, was outdated and required major renovations.

I began the renovation process by enlisting the help of a relative and some of his friends to gut the interior.

TIA.Hey Hunter, I'd recommend Tyler Hay with Ohio Renovation Solutions.

For more bookings, consider promoting on social media or offering last-minute deals.Regarding ticket partnerships, local attractions or smaller groups might be more flexible than larger platforms like Xplorie.

Plus, it would be a first renovation project, and other properties we may be able to close on are huge projects.

Larger company -- tried to escalate to the owner. 

You have the resources to know what you’re doing and for renovations your dad I’m sure could put a great scope of work together.
