Hello, I am a new investor primary looking at the Columbus Ohio market.  

Hey Melissa,I shared your question with a marketing consultant I work with.

There's a few other things to think about too: 1 - Possible owner financing if he wants to still get a stream of income into retirement at an attractive rate compared to the rest of the market (win/win scenario, you don't need to come up with as much cash, and he makes a little $ on the %) 2 - Consider a post possession if he needs some time to move out but needs the cash up front for whatever reason 3 - Leave all the furniture/junk in the property and you'll handle clean up etc. 

It can be challenging to find ways to house hack in a market like this one for sure.

- best markets to buy?

The rule states that 75% of market rents for all units must be more than the total mortgage payment.

I think the real question should be what is the best CRM specifically for the real estate market (e.g. rentals, lending, etc.) - and that one I am still waiting for someone to come up with on.

Marketed the property for $179,000 and went under contract and closed for $186,000.

I am leaning towards demolishing the house and building a simple 3/2 but I have no market data in the city for new builds in recent years.
