I personally invest in Columbus and know a ton of out of state investors from states like CA, AZ, NY, NJ that like to invest here. 

I would like to enventually use it towards real estate investing first purchase downpayment, once that opportunity arrises.

Like many people on BP, they want to make this a future investment property and want to see an ROI on that investment. 

I'm Darren Haddock, a passionate upcoming real estate investor with a keen eye for promising deals and a drive to collaborate with like-minded investors.

I would like to create an offer that would let me delay creating a mortgage and some type of annual or semi-annual payment for 3 years.  

It allows a substantial portion of the asset's cost to be deducted in the first year of service.In 2023, the bonus depreciation rate is 80%.In 2024, it decreases to 60%.In 2025, the rate further reduces to 40%.COST SEGREGATION:Cost segregation involves dividing a property into its individual components for tax purposes.Some parts age faster, like carpets or paint.Your CPA can use this info to more accurately depreciate elements of your property leading to potential tax savings.BASIS:Your basis is the initial price that you paid for your property, including any expenses or improvements.Knowing your basis is crucial for tax purposes, as it's used to evaluate depreciation & determine the capital gains or losses if/when your property sells.LAND VALUE:This is how much your land is worth without any buildings or improvements.Land doesn't get old like buildings, so you can't depreciate it.

That sounds like a solid deal.

Looking on Zillow it looks like the only affordable places are reseda or pacoima or Lancaster. 

It’s likely a waste of everyone’s time to request it if seller is not offering it.

I was planning on checking in w/ the big guys like Vacasa and Evolve.
