Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

@Xavier PereraAt 21 and making $180K a year, you’re in an incredible position to transition into full-time real estate investing.

All equity lost.  

@Jenna ChenHouse hacking a value-add duplex in Atlanta is a smart strategy to build equity while keeping living costs low.

We have $150K in equity. 

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

I don't know where to invest, really drawn to Columbus for many reasons (some cash flow and stable appreciation)--what's been some people's positive and negative experiences in Columbus? 

@Ashley Kroft, what a great position to be in!

Is there some reason that you or the company simply don't discuss what happened and use this as an opportunity to turn a negative post into a positive one for the company?  

My bridge rate is 10% and results in a $1,500/month PITI payment.The negative cash flow stings but is worth it for the equity.
