Listening is one of the number one assets, so if theres ways I can contact other real estate investors and learn from them would mean alot.

Let me know if I can provide any support. 

As stated on here you can look to Foremost as well. 

A quick formula you can use is your estimated purchase price times .0134. 

If you paid ACH, then I don't think there is much you can do.

I’m a local realtor and can help you out as much as possible  

If you're considering hard money loans, they can provide fast funding, but with higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Investors can find opportunities in both residential and commercial properties.

I’m not trying to cheap out but I can do a lot with that.

I wouldn't touch anything outside the urban core. if your strategy is to buy existing and old I'd recommend not to. as a newer investor depending on your liquidity look at build to rent development. building investment properties below market value by 25% and refinancing out of it to do it again. the urban core has tax abatements as well that are 15 years right now you can apply for. that means that taxes will be around $600 to $800 per year. there's cash Flow but the existing inventory market dried up a few years ago in the urban core. local realtors are going to push you to the trash areas like hilltop, south linden, etc because it's the only place numbers work. columbus is great, but remember a tenant who pays $1800 a month is different than a tenant who pays $900 a month. let me know if I can help any other way!
