Looks like you are building a solid foundation.

Let me know if you are looking for any other rental properties to purchase in the Columbus area and I can find you some great properties with solid returns.

If they had steady solid income and good credit and no criminal history, they would not be living in a 30K house. 300K, yes. 130K, yes.

I've received a call from a tax delinquent owner with 9 acres of wooded land zoned for 1-3 res.

Must use clear wood - (extremely expensive) and then paint it!

I did inform both tenants that I was also selling the property so there was no deception on my part.I called my realtor and told him I was heading in the rent direction with this property, and if either of the 2 party's interested in purchasing the house didn't make a solid offer I was going to rent it by the end of this week.Yesterday I got an offer for the 86k guy for 102k less 3k in cc and no other concessions.I signed the offer and will profit $17k on this flip.There where 2 factors that made me decide to sell rather than rent,1.

I use deck and fence wash, then use a pressure washer 10"-12" away to wash the wood off.

However if you are in Europe you are more then likely dealing with boilers.An option that i would look into and develop if i was in Europe would be either outdoor wood boilers,,, or rocket mass heaters , and i would lean towards the rocket mass heaters.

All in the mean time I've been spending a lot of my time going through probate cases at the court house and really trying to build a solid list of properties to mail to.I'm determined to get this right and I'm not complaining about all the work I've put in.
