Break ins- While you are waiting to rent the house I would tell you to take the faces off the new cabinets, and take all the appliances out and make friends with the neighbors.  

Question for any Bigger Pockets RE investors in the greater Columbus Ohio area:  Are there any existing BP meetups in Columbus Ohio for us to connect face to face, build our networks, share experiences, etc..?

,,it required many stitches in my face, I have a CT scan on my brain and face tomorrow, and I feel like I got run over by a tractor trailer rig.I am only writting this because if you start to do something, and that little voice tells you to wait for help,,WAIT FOR HELP,,,,with another person on the other side this could have been avoided,,,,I don't know how many things I"ve done and thought "boy, that could have been bad",,but got away with it,,,don't do the same,,,no house/rehab etc is worth getting hurt or killed overandy

The numbers you provided are right.In terms of the area, it is a rougher area than I would prefer and the building probably will face higher maintenance costs and higher turnover.

Not a chance, that'll barely get the thing up to code most likely and that's being optimistic, forget upgrades.

You should also find investors locally and network with them face-to-face.

Anyways, with all of that facing us we are looking for a way to acquire a small loan (~$80-100k) and purchase a duplex or single-family.

It won't look so dated and in-your-face ugly.Appliances, well, depends on how functional they are. 

There was about 200 people in the room when I went and I saw at least 10 people who did buy into the mastery program.200 x $199 = $39K10 x $20K = $200KAt the bare minimum they walked away with $240K.

btw - I am sending a letter out today to a house who's owners were arrested and facing both jail time and some serious legal fees.
