I hope that by joining this forum I can build some real genuine relationships and learn from some of the best in this field and then pass my knowledge onto someone else. 

I'm not looking to waste anyone's time, just looking for some genuine insight into this business.Good luck in 2017- Kyle

@Karma SengeHi Karma,I know that $1million in SFH in areas that I have been focusing on can comfortably produce a 20% net cap without buying turn key and doing all the work.This would also be a low risk investment.To my knowledge any commercial or multifamily deals in B class areas that come with 3 years tax returns and show a genuine net cap of 10% or better are great finds.Thanks and have a great day,

He offered to do their side at a reduced commission of 2%.I genuinely like my realtor and don't want to mess up my relationship with him but don't understand why the buyer has to have a realtor or why I'd pay an extra 2%.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  

If you are a genuine buyer, why would you not have a deposit?

I wish it were someone that genuinely said hey come shadow me.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.  

I didn't really want to just "give" homeless people a place to live but rather use the home and some work as tools to transform people into productive members of the community - many don't need much, others need a lot.

You then control the look and feel of the block and tenant base.So for example if there were 10 quads for 40 units on one street by buying most of them and forming a relationship with the other landlord the area could be transformed.

So you had a low income tenant that you were perfectly happy with, who may have genuinely believed that a dog was allowed.
