Hi, Im trying to get some feedback on whats the best programs to do text blasts & voice blasts.  Also integrating them with Podio as well as an option.  It can be stand alone.

@Angel PerezSounds like you are dealing with a C5 property. 

I have a question regarding a property that the state took over and is selling.

I’m a high income W2 earner getting hosed on taxes (currently own 5 properties).

Don’t Do Multiple Property TypesAvoid the temptation to juggle different property types.

He is older and does not have a mortgage and there is a lot of deferred maintenance on the property.

However, the biggest con is that you are sacrificing a bit of your privacy by living right by your tenants and it is usually a lot more stressful since everything is your responsibility - managing tenant issues, handyman repairs, taking care of the lawn, etc.I would strongly recommend house hacking especially in the Columbus Ohio market!

If you don't have money set aside for emergencies then you should tread carefully.

There are a lot of options out there.Some of the most useful items BiggerPockets members have identified are features that save time so they can spend time working on their next property.

New construction properties can qualify for significant insurance discounts, but otherwise, I generally expect insurance in this area to run a little over 1% of the property’s value if it’s in decent condition.Feel free to DM me if you’d like a good insurance contact to shop around for a better rate.
