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! 

Once you’ve identified STR friendly locations, figure out your financing with your brother to help narrow down your price range and market options.

They can help you find discounted deals, which is key because off market properties often provide better cash flow than those listed.3.

I will definitely need help with this one, because it is currently landlocked and will need either a road and crossing over the river, or it will need deeded property access through a 3rd party.

Yall are so incredibly generous and helpful.

Be super careful.An administrator will pass your funds to a custodian in the background, provide statements, and hopefully help you stay within the law when you invest your IRA funds.

Every lender has different criteria when it comes to seasoning periods, LTV limits, and DSCR requirements, so knowing those details upfront can help you structure your deals more effectively.Looking forward to seeing how your BRRRR journey unfolds.

The appeal of Rentvine is the customer service and help getting set up.
