In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).

Their return is better than most note companies.  

Quote from @Adam Sieg: I’ve used all but the only company I continue to buy through is R2R.

I had an appraisal done for the refinance and it came back at 515k which seemed pretty good. now I have been in the home for a year so I can start renting it out for a decent amount of money that would pay the mortgage and I would get about 600 in rental income on top of paying the mortgage.

I am also willing to work for a more experienced investor or property management company in any capacity, be that market research, deal sourcing, property management assistance, rental optimization, or anything else needed.

Anyone familiar with PMs who collude with house-hunting companys to purposefully make me more inclined to sell?

Has anyone used the company BNB Leverage to help with the airbnb arbitrage strategy?

Lol.They have decent deals from time to time, but they are usually volume based, not in tune with market, and more motivated to push a sale than to really see if a deal is good or not.

I use one of the most expensive snow removal companies in town for a 16-plex that has 240 linear feet of sidewalk and 10,000 square feet of parking lot.
