So a deal that look great to one investor will look horrible to another and vice versa.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

The Ohio market is very strong and competitive, so people struggle to find deals with consistently great margins on flips, etc.

This looks like a great deal!

It’s great to see you here.
