While I can't definitively say which are the absolute top 5 zip codes in Columbus, I can help you narrow your search for Class A neighborhoods that offer a good balance of rental cash flow, low vacancy rates, safety, and strong school systems.Some promising areas to consider based on general market research include New Albany (43064), known for excellent schools, safety, and strong rental demand, although cash flow might be lower due to higher property values.

I'm also quite certain he has an alcohol issue, as I always smell alcohol when we speak in person.When the tenant first moved in, he would wait for my wife to leave for work and then rush outside to talk to her, often presenting significant problems he was facing – hospital visits, sick parents, cyber hacking, and more.

@Benjamin Greiner just commented on another post about a tenant threatening to sue over mold issues - that tenant neglect caused.We told the landlord their lease should have had provisions in it to hold the tenant accountable for the damages.Standard leases only cover the basics, so you should Google all the leases you can for ideas to take to an attorney to include.
