As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

Options:1) Wait for the right duplex to go on the market and expect to pay $160-$200k for it with rents around $1400-$1600 for a 3 bedroom. 2) buy a massive project for $90k off market from our real estate agent.

You can set that up over the internet/phone.I am here in Saint Petersburg and its a great time to come down as an agent if your getting your FL license.

Home seems to be in great condition as I spoke to the REO agent and they were able to give me the "inside scoop" on the condition of the property.

Contact your Top agents in multiple Counties and alert them to offers because they may have cash buyers for and try to earn some business.

Build your network by connecting with investors, agents, property managers, lenders, and professionals in your area.

I am an agent in the Cincinnati area. 

Seek advice from a real estate agent, property inspector, financial advisor, or investment mentor to evaluate the deal and receive expert guidance.Good luck!
