Month before that I was sending around 10,000 letters to targeted properties per week in Texas, chipping away at deals.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.

Let’s talk.Late to the party but here to chip in my 2 cents.

You now have a low risk, blue chip security, with a low tax basis.

Glad you asked...thinking if you sell a smaller asset now and exchange into a larger/better one, even if you have to chip I.

Your bargaining chip is that you will walk.

The seams between the planks have swollen, and I know from experience that this will dramatically shorten the usuable lifespan of the floor, as the corners will soon begin to delaminate and chip.   

And just because you get a bid it doesn't mean the seller will have any obligation to cover any of the findings or pay for the person that came out, but it does at least give you more information.In a hot seller's market you probably aren't going to get much for items that are old but still functional, ie, if the water heater works, the roof isn't actively leaking, then yes a lot of seller's won't chip in for that. 

Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly.

Use this as a bargaining chip to get them to lower price to appraised value..
