Would love to review your numbers and share some ideas before you close a deal!

Hi Malcolm, With your strategy of holding multi-family properties or flipping, the key is running the numbers carefully to match your goals.

However, the biggest con is that you are sacrificing a bit of your privacy by living right by your tenants and it is usually a lot more stressful since everything is your responsibility - managing tenant issues, handyman repairs, taking care of the lawn, etc.I would strongly recommend house hacking especially in the Columbus Ohio market!

Especially any landscaping updates because tenants won't take care of it.

Also I understand the funds aren't available for the improvements so that is another obstacle that has me leaning towards price reductions to move on as soon as possible.The exit of lower tier SFH's is something very few investors care to consider when making their investments but deserves far more consideration. 

I buy deep though, and don't seem to care to budge on my bid given the scope. 

There is roughly $275k left on the mortgage and its value is est $430k.We have a brokerage account w $300k that considered as discretionary investments because we also have 401k contributions and emergency savings.Our options we're reviewing:1) Do nothing.

It doesn't hurt if you don't care if you get the property or not.

Be very careful who you take advice from online, you should get involved with a local attorney and a local realtor.
