Do they normally do slabs or can you just do concrete footings? 

Normally, there are a bunch of hidden fees that you need to look out for when you read the contract. $100 is WAY too low and they will be losing money when finding a tenant.

You can get a bridge loan (nice way of saying hard money) for the renovations and then, once all is back to normal, you can get a DSCR or other type of permanent financing done, but I don't know of any permanent financing scenario for an investment property that would allow the property to be in that state. 

So I am considering two options:(1) HIre a contractor to hand off to finish the project.(2) Sell it as-is.If I go with option #2, obviously it cannot be a normal sale as the property is not habitable in it's current state, so cannot be mortgaged nor insured. 

HI Delaney, a lot of people will say to be carful in the Hilltop and South Linden areas of Columbus because of crime and other negative variables.

Just a two car garage on a 4600 sqft lot.

I know nails and screw holes is part of normal wear and tear.

@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense

Does that sound normal to you?

Often the inspections are very picky and they happen every 12 months so although section 8 tenants normally stay longer then market tenants it sometimes feels like a built in vacancy of 1 month every time they do the annual inspection depending on how much your contractor charges.
