@Paul TimminsThank you so much for the advice.It's greatly appreciated and so far this website has been extremely helpful for me.

Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio.

It takes time and they're not doing so from a position of just getting started.I started out buying rentals off of the MLS, putting 20% down.

These were all positives.

You can also check local property management websites, they usually list current available listings with real market rates.

We don’t know your financial position so only you can decide if this is right for you.  

If so, page 15, Section 5.01 F. should directly address your question: http://ccatax.ci.cleveland.oh.us/taxforms/common/rreff1124.pdfIf you should be buying in some other local jurisdictions in NE Ohio, be aware of RITAOhio.com.Each of the above root websites has a menu that gives you the list of participating jurisdictions for each.

They hit up Google, find my website, and sell to me.By the time your mailer arrives, their house is long sold to ME!

If you find out what their dreams are, perhaps refinancing can align with those dreams if you position it the right way?

Thanks, Savannah.I appreciate the offer and will definitely use it as I work my way through the information and calculators on the BP web site.
