Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?

Without predictability on insurability and risk of the primary collateral being destroyed (which at this point theoretically could happen anywhere) as it’s January, and would you believe in 2023 that 71K thousand square miles of northern Canada burned 5% of the entire Canadian forest with billions in damages? 

It's usually someone with a high W2 income buying a primary then doing Mid-Term or Short-Term Rentals with an ADU. 

For the $525K property, with the low mortgage rate(you will probably never get a such low rate), it might make sense to hold onto it for now, especially if you can still sell it as a primary residence within the next three years and avoid capital gains taxes.

Background: was primary residence for 10 years .

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $435,000 Primary residence converted to a rental after 2 years.

Real eatate is his primary focus.

But I also do believe you begin there you must be willing to pay more than the competitors to be able to thrive there as a primary investor. 

Your primary strategy should be to have the Contractor and all Subcontractors add you to their insurance policy as Additional Insured. 

I have a rental down the street that was my primary for a few years, so I am not just someone looking for a quick deal.
