It prevents any fair housing issues since you are partnering with another non-profit, in my opinion.That would at least get the ball rolling on your idea!

After that, it was like a ball over a hill and we just kept rolling forward.

This is a different ball game 10 years later.

You kind of want to get the ball rolling on this quickly... you don't want to wait until the 30 day notice to know you have to market the property and get it ready to be turned around.

Charlotte is an extremely competitive market though, so you're going to have to come in hard to play ball there.

Until then I keep searching for properties in Ohio and submit low ball offers.

Out here in Rancho Cucamonga, CA we have the Angels A ball team and there's always this one Realtor who advertises at the ballpark.

Ask them for a ball park of what it would rent for long term.

My thinking is account for all expenses and hope that it being a new build will save me some time before having to perform cap ex style repairs (I do have about 50K cash on hand after the closing of this property so i feel comfortable with handling curve balls for a few years) New Build structure and neighborhood/school gives me hope that in 30 years i can still command a decent rent on a property 30 years old instead of trying to take something from 1970 all the way to 2055 and still get decent rent out of it .

My agent told the listing agent they dropped the ball and at least owed us the opportunity to compete and be transparent with any new offers, as we originally had our offer accepted, and they owed us at least that.
