HOWEVER, you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

Hi KyleThe way most real estate for sale is priced these days there’s little to no cash flow after debt service with 25% down - borrowing a down payment would put the investor in a negative monthly position. 

It can be a positive for short term rentals (if in a good area) to be near the airport.

I'm curious why you want a HELOC instead of a conventional loan in the first position.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I don't know where to invest, really drawn to Columbus for many reasons (some cash flow and stable appreciation)--what's been some people's positive and negative experiences in Columbus? 

Although I’m guessing most people in this position would use Wordpress or something more customizable.

Is there some reason that you or the company simply don't discuss what happened and use this as an opportunity to turn a negative post into a positive one for the company?  

This property is rehab-ready, so I’m specifically looking for a realtor who:✅ Has experience selling investment properties (ideally multifamily)✅ Knows how to position deals for cash buyers, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors✅ Understands the Columbus market and investor demand✅ Has a solid network of local and out-of-state investors looking for dealsSince I’m a remote seller, I need an agent who can efficiently handle the process, and who is comfortable working with investor-friendly lenders, wholesalers, and potential cash buyers.If you or someone you know is a top-notch seller’s agent with investor experience in Columbus, drop a comment or DM me—I’d love to connect and get this property moving.Appreciate any recommendations!

Quote from @Anthony Maffei: I purchased a two-family property in 2017 and now have around $500K in positive equity.
