My only potential caution is do you know what you will be doing when you graduate in the spring.

Understanding the local market trends, property values, and the needs of potential buyers or renters will give you a significant edge. 

Hi everyone, As a first time out-of-state investor, I've heard buzz about promising neighborhoods in Columbus, like North Linden, Olde Towne East, and Franklin Park, known for their potential cash flow and appreciation.

I’m looking to maybe invest in Louisiana (where I’m from) being that the cost of living is so low.

Any recommendations for a cost effective lawyer to start the eviction process?

Wholesalers often have properties at below-market prices, and realtors can help you identify potential deals in your target areas.

For those that have already spent some time and $$$ there, what are your experiences and numbers looking like for things such as:Rental/property management feesclosing costs (as percent of transaction)vacancy rates (on and off season)price to rent ratioyoy appreciation$/sqft to build (I know, this is a "it depends" number)Utility issues (water, power, trash, septic, etc.)Anything else that you think would be helpful!

I've seen post online that say that Section 8 will help you with the cost to remodel a home if you then place it on the Section 8 program.

MY paint cost is $1-$1.5 per sq foot.  

Because the Adjuster's fee is normally a % of your claim payment, you may want to get estimates of the rebuilding costs and see how close the proposed settlement is before you decide if the Adjuster is worthwhile.
