Purchase price: $532,500 Cash invested: $106,500 I just bought a duplex on 3rd Ave on the Columbus side of Grandview and am planning on living in one side and renting out the other.  

I have never built anything, only purchased already built properties and I need some advice.Thanks!

No, refinancing isn’t an option because of how we purchased the property.

The pitfall potentials are many, and most speak back to neglect in process.

Thank you  The good GCs charge 20% but this does not equate to your savings because the GC will have better contacts, have namer experience coordinating contractors, be more familiar with permit process and expectations of the inspectors.  

Obviously would be a slower process, but would create very little debt hanging over your head.

Hi Jim,We have a handful of properties and use zillow for the application process.

Its a slow learning process if you havent been in the lending, investing or real estate world before.

The work around is part of the application process is to tour the property, but still, why put yourself in that position?

They are doing their underwriting process.
