I could complete the main road in phases, build 2-3 at a time (could do more really as we have 15 right now actively being built but realistically not sure how fast it’ll sell.

And lastly how about the extra squatters that do have income and are paying the main squatters $$$ for subletting.We need to put up a fight and “DEMAND” what’s owed in backed rents and if the squatters don’t comply than see the them in court with an UD along with including All the John and Jane Dows that are squatting with the main squatters and most likely hit them with a JUDGMENT with a DING on the main squatters credit including his wife’s credit along with wage garnishments.

Miami/ Coral Gables, even worse. 1500 1700 brick houses without a garage on main roads (Byrd ave for example) 1.5 MILL is just nuts.

Personally, I've had success in Linden, Southern Orchards, South of Main, Driving Park, and Franklinton to name a few neighborhoods in Columbus. 

I invest locally and invest out of state, and the main issue for most is the shiny diamond syndrome providing you the reasons why investing (insert area here) is the best place. 

What are your main investment goals: long-term appreciation, cash flow, or something else? 

Mainly because of being priced out of the market around us here in NY.  

Principle pay down and appreciation are the main drivers behind my strategy, and I focus more on IRR instead of cash flow.

Look for mixed-use properties with a Main Street vibe or location.

The main advice I would recommend is to begin networking.
