It seems like you've planted the thought of selling in his head, so the longer you wait, the more likely he is to talk to friends and family, another investor, a realtor, etc.With that being said, when you do talk to him, be ready to get it under contract.

and reality is no one closes that quick.. they try but few can make it espeically if your in an attorney closing state.. those guys are not like west coast titel and escrow companies that have the title plant all in digital format and can pull title in 24 hours and be ready to close.

congrats @Michael Plant and welcome to BP!

I would continue to look in the Columbus market or tertiary markets though, as demand for housing has just increased with the announcement of the intel plant and the refinery.

@Michael Plante thank you for your ideas and informing me of the wind storms.

@Michael Plante fair statement, but all proposals now on the table are far in excess of what I am looking to do.

I was brainstorming and couldn't really see a solution besides maybe planting a tree to try to cover up the tallest shed.
