Getting a contractor can be extremely frustrating especially if you need to make an offer without even looking at the property.

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

A little background on us.....we are both very knowledgeable individuals and extremely ambitious.

Property ended up being a bit of a headache at first since it's an extremely old house that had a lot of problems that weren't apparent when I first saw it.

2 weeks will be extremely challenging especially without pre arranged financing.In some ways the delinquent rent is a positive because it implies that rent control does not come into play.On purchase, you want the owed money to transfer with the purchase.  

I often like to think of extremes to put it in perspective - if 100% financing was available, everyone and their brother would be buying up property and the prices would be astronomical.

This is extremely helpful, I appreciate the insight.

I'm extremely familiar with this area.Property: 3 unit, all 2 bed/1bath (1 of the 3 units is not allowed as rental due to zoning.

I grew up around Winston, and with speaking to some of the agents that I know that are working up that area, it is still and extremely interesting market with plenty of people putting their hands into the pot.

@Mauricio SandovalI was getting extremely high insurance quotes for our properties in Ohio, then I realized after reading forums on BP that you have to ask them to quote you on Actual Cash Value, not rebuild cost (which are extremely inflated during these times of supply issues).
