I will say it's not a bad downside scenario but if this is your base case, I'd pass.As for your question on how heavily COC is weighted...HIGHLY!

My thought process is to reach out to local agents and potential management companies to get a gauge, but on top of that I thought getting a gauge on what investors are actually changing would give me a boots on the ground feedback which has some weight to it.On that note, for any investors investing in the Columbus Ohio market who are willing to be open, would you mind sharing with me on what you are charging for rent, property class, maybe the length of your lease and area?

Finally, as I stated, there are pending repair issues in the other units which they opt not to fix and wanted fast as-is sales, obviously weighted into the price, how much I don't know. 

Thank you, I would weight out your options and follow your gut feeling.

I know that using Debt as leverage would be the best start to my real estate investing career, but I’m incredibly scared to start because knowledge and experience are the only thing that can make a good deal worth its weight!

The excuse that their information got stolen and then the criminal just so happened to have the correct apartments.com login credentials and then made a payment on your behalf flies like a lead weight. 

I am currently weighting which of the two strategies that I want to get into (i.e. which one to start first).* Strategy 1: Buy and flip (for primary income, to replace my current 9-5 job).* Strategy 2: Rental properties for the tax benefits as well as extra income. 

However on some window installs I did in an old house once their contractors did not remove the hundred year old double hung weights or insulate the space where those weights were so in the bitter cold of New Hampshire winter the new insulation value of the windows only helped so much because cold air was still leaking in from the spaces left between the walls.

Building them is stressful (I think it's fun) but the weight of your shoulders of being financially free is priceless.

@Dev Horn  In praise of Dev Horn's postsIf you did a search on this site about all of Duckhorn suppose who is manager and leader of we buy houses if you don't knowIt amazes me that I'm bigger pockets people want to be entertained and learn some tricks but not doing thing not go out and talk to so it's not go out and talk to Buyers don't make any money they're just dreamersThere was a post by a moderator is saying that they want to protect your image from making mistakesWell small-business people make mistakes even if you buy a franchise and get a book on how to run the business you make mistakesI think real estate and this thing is like weight-loss, you walk into a weight-loss clinic and you want to lose the weight and you understand that you got exercise much but there's a psychological component to losing weightLike in real estate investing, weight-loss is painfulAlso it doesn't come quicklyParadoxically, it's not consistentI think there's two good sayings to be pasted in front of your computer from your fridge and in front of your mirror were you shave or get ready for the next day
