But, if they have given up on the home, is another story.I plan to stop by the house again soon and leave a note and try to find contact info to talk with them to get their story.From what I have gathered, the original owner passed away and one of their children obtained the estate of the home a while ago but, may be living in Orange County.

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?

That is tight leverage for an investment 2nd position loan.A private investor might be willing to do it, it's not going to be cheap at all & will be short-term money & will not be a line of credit to take out at your liking.What is your rate on the 1st?

However, after talking to some loan professionals, it seems that there are always origination fees, appraisal fees etc.My question is, what fees should I expect to pay when opening up my first HELOC.  

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

First off, Congratulations on your investment.

I do condo plans as part of my W2, and these SF calculations can vary based on the coord with the attorney and owner as far as how the association is originally set up in its budgeting for dues.

OOS investing is hard.
