It's the old adage of garbage in garbage out.

There is also a second designated person who's a kind of CFO. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Less likely.You have to have a host of skills and knowledge and $$ to get to make 10 successful rehabs happen in 1 year.

Inside your 20, 820 and 635 loop you'll likely have to put 40% or so in the deal in order to cash flow positively.

Happy to have a conversation as a lot of my clients are international investors in the US.

build it instead of buying it. especially in the 5-50 range you are going to get garbage that's 80-120 years old in c neighborhoods. i can find land in almost any zip code and make the numbers work in columbus. or partner on a project locally. just my 2 cents but build to rent is much stronger right now in my opinion in columbus than buying existing assets 

Adding and making better could sell or rent faster, but it won't get you more than what the market ARV and rent is set at from other similar comps in the area....and your Interior Design background will help, if you you it mostly as an understanding of cost. 

Quote from @Brad Finley: Hey community,I am looking into investing in my home town of Cincinnati. 

A cost segregation study was performed on this single family home in Iowa City, Iowa with a depreciable cost basis of $649,900.
