For anyone considering this, it’s probably worth consulting with a local land-use attorney or planner to navigate the specifics and make sure you’re maximizing the opportunity without running into red tape.

I think I've done my bookkeeping almost every way you can - from not at all -> keeping receipts in a shoebox and handing over the entire shoebox to my CPA -> running 10-key tapes on all the receipts for each category and handing those tapes to my CPA -> DIY Quickbooks -> paying a bookkeeper to manage everything in Quickbooks -> to now doing it myself using Baselane.

You will always get more money listing it but sometimes it takes a bit longer wind has a little more red tape.

An agent sent me a video tape of a fourplex in this area that made it seem pretty good.

Red tape with trying to get the HOA board to approve repairs.

As there is only a one lane asphalt driveway that goes between the building and the east property line the contractor will have to operate his heavy equipment there and will hurt tenant access and definitely damage the asphalt.

When I asked what repairs to expect on the property, she was outside and turned toward the driveway, pointing to the cracks in the asphalt, and indicated that the driveway would be repaired.

It reminds me of the “ Cutting the red tape for the rebuilding period.”

For housing to really be addressed, there needs to be way less tape to set up ground up construction yet stricter rules on actual build quality not necessarily code.

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management.
