Hello, I am a new investor primary looking at the Columbus Ohio market.  

I have tried emailing the sales team a couple of times but no new info.   

In other words, your price determines the perceived value in the guests mind, no different than a luxury purse fetching $1000 while another brand only $75, even though they are both made out of leather. 

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Dover.

Purchase price: $126,000

Cash invested: $10,000

1 acre property to be subdivided into three lots. Then place a dupl...

If the property has continued to appreciate, perhaps him buying you out at market value makes the most sense, then take the cash and roll into a new property.It sounds like you would like him to pick up another $500/month (pay you the $1,000/mo rent + pay 50% of the remaining mortgage split). 

Especially if you're willing/able to move to the next deal every year.If you buy a new house-hack every year for 5 years, that's an additional 10 rental units added to your portfolio.  

When doing your calculations - be sure to include principle, interest, property taxes (what your new ones will be - not what the current ones are - because after 1 year they reset to what you paid on the property), property insurance, and a maintenance reserve (we use $100/door/month on maintenance).  

We had already been planning to do some maintenance and repairs (repave driveway, re-insulate attic, replace two broken faucets, other minor items), but were wondering if, for tax reasons, we are better off waiting until we close on the new home and this is no longer our primary.Can this work count toward tax deductions as preparatory work on rental property, even if it's currently our primary?

I’m a new investor and live in Delaware County.

Also with the new policy changes with CMHC high ratio mortgages first time home buyers will have a much tougher time buying their first home so the rental pool will increase leaving more people looking to rent.I currently hold two rentals one in which is an owner occupied rental which I purchased for 200k 7 years ago and it is worth around 275k today and this year I purchased a triplex as well for 250k and as is with no improvements this yields me an 8% return a year which I would say is quite low.
