I think the best thing would be to knock out the line of credit mainly because I’ve been putting a lot of time into getting my business up and running, BUT if I could knock out the renovating before March that would be a HUGE win.

I ended up targeting Columbus, OH as my main market so happy to help answer any questions you might have and share my experiences as an OOS investor. 

And lastly how about the extra squatters that do have income and are paying the main squatters $$$ for subletting.We need to put up a fight and “DEMAND” what’s owed in backed rents and if the squatters don’t comply than see the them in court with an UD along with including All the John and Jane Dows that are squatting with the main squatters and most likely hit them with a JUDGMENT with a DING on the main squatters credit including his wife’s credit along with wage garnishments.

Have you decided on what your main focus and goals are?

I have personally stayed in one of these places where the main house is separated, and only the basement space which has a walkout entrance, its own kitchen, and two bathrooms would be rented out an Airbnb.

I invest locally and invest out of state, and the main issue for most is the shiny diamond syndrome providing you the reasons why investing (insert area here) is the best place. 

Miami/ Coral Gables, even worse. 1500 1700 brick houses without a garage on main roads (Byrd ave for example) 1.5 MILL is just nuts.

Personally, I've had success in Linden, Southern Orchards, South of Main, Driving Park, and Franklinton to name a few neighborhoods in Columbus. 

Hi @Richard BautistaYour red flag is also my red flag.As an agent who helps investors from out of state the main thing that I always tell them is to FLY OUT TO SEE THE PROPERTY IN PERSON.
