Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?

In the same vein having a new role of toilet paper on the roller for them is a nice touch also.

I would say JP Morgan is the safest now as they're the pseudo goverment LOLhere's the paper to know which bank is safer:https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12232#:~:te... doesn't work on phone, brief synapses? 

I personally wouldn't do that although I'm aware I would "cash flow" more on paper if I bought an apartment complex or multiple SFH/duplexes OOS vs keeping my Bay Area SFH rental.

They may look promising on paper but often underperform in reality due to management challenges and unexpected expenses.Given your situation, a SFH in a good area of South Jersey could be a solid starting point.

There's a reason they are cheap and investors rarely realize their paper ROIs with these types of properties.

On paper the duplex projects higher returns, but of course, that's just a projection. 

Not by obtaining a judgement against an individual or an LLC for that matter because all they have at that point is a piece of paper, not cash proceeds.

Do you provide consumables (toilet paper, coffee, paper towel, etc.) for your clients or do you set aside money for to replenish?

So we agreed on a price, shook hands and signed some papers.
