Wondering how's the current market in Columbus with section 8, rent to price ratios, ect?

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

What is the Current occupancy? 

The market is always right and will quickly tell you if you're on target3) Option to purchase price at current appraisal, $388K

For example, in the left-hand column on this page, under "Financial, Tax and Legal" are forum topics which often overlap such as "Tax, SDIRAs and & Cost Segregation", "Goals, Business Plans and Entities" and "Personal Finance" could all be relevant to someone's question, but there's (currently) no way to engage the denizens of all those forums without posting in all of them (what you want to call "spamming").My $0.02 ...

But everything I've read says you can't actually get a HELOC on a rental property in Texas.We're also not really interested in refinancing the Texas home - as we've got a 2.5% rate on it and any refinance at current rents would turn it into a cash-flow negative asset.Anyway - we think if we moved some other investments around we might be able to find the $137K to pay off the loan outright - owning the land. 

Currently own a home with approximately $100k in equity.

I've attached some photos of current listings of some garages and lofts and bedrooms.

With a new owner you could -- if you talked to anyone intelligent at Solar Mosaic -- have the current UCC released and then refiled after closing.

This is my current process: 1) screen for price range/target neighborhoods, 2) Calculate rent/value to identify properties at or close to 1% rule, 3) review photos/other info to ballpark estimate post-purchase capex followed by a more detailed deal analysis, 4) request contractor inspect the property to get true capex estimate, 5) make offer if the numbers work.However, since Febrary I've only gotten to #4 once and never to #5.
