Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?

Patience is definitely needed if you are trying to buy from a resident with no real estate experience.

One appeared visibly unoccupied, with a mattress and other debris on its porch and its upstairs windows boarded up.Of the remaining seven homes, The Inquirer was able to question residents of four about whether they continued to be charged rent.All said they had been.One tenant, Shanna Anderson, said she stopped being able to afford her $1,750-a-month rent to DHI Fund and RAD at her Parkside rowhouse after losing her job at a real estate brokerage during the pandemic.In late November, RAD threatened to evict her if she failed to pay $6,530 owed for unpaid rent since August.Her home’s rental license has been inactive since late July, according to L&I records.

I'm not sure that the property being perfect for your investment criteria makes it unique enough to warrant a judge forcing the sale, especially considering that it was not listed for sale to begin with and that you're going to be using it for an investment property not a primary residence.

Background: was primary residence for 10 years .

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often.
