HI StuartThanks for the detailed reply.Part of the research process for me is posting in the forums and hearing a variety of responses, since many times online sources are just promotion of services that solve a problem related to the search term.

I have no idea what makes you think it's an "executive" level residence but the price and market rejection clearly states it is NOT. - You not there is a GIANT supply glut of listed properties to this one, and then speak that your priced lowest, as if that's any kind of anything special.

The credit score is around 720, and the property is owner-occupied, which might simplify the process.

I'm an investor in NJ, mostly in North Jersey but very difficult to grab multi families, anywhere south of Monmouth county there is more inventory and have a better chance of landing something that makes sense. 

So make sure you have some cash reserves built up. 

It’s always inspiring to see young investors making moves in real estate.Best,Noah

Make a simple spreadsheet or written list with the features of each and see which ones appeal to you most.

@Joseph Dunphy would you happen to have a investor friendly agent you recommend in the Columbus area I have 2 properties I would like to make negotiate & make offers on 

This will make investing in midwest fairly simple.

Now it makes sense why there is such a wide range of costs associated with turnovers.
