Thank you for your time.Welcome to Bigger Pockets mate,Having an interest in RE at such a young age is awesome.Ohio is a top market also.Well done :)See you around the forum

Honestly the only way to really know it to have an engineer examine the foundation to see it there is an ongoing issue of if there it's just the norm for the age of home.

Other considerations may be energy efficiency, age, style of the home, functionality, condition, marketability and useful economic life of the entire property.

Not sure about property tax where you live , age of home (for maintenance) etc.

Oh - btw, I grew up in Long Island and moved to Northeast PA at the age of 10, and have moved between here and Philadelphia ever since.

I believe pads should be around 35% and POH's between 55-60% depending on age and how well you screen your tenants.  

I think it would be something very opportunistic to get involved in especially at the young age I am.

What you need to do is find an appraiser or real estate agent that has access to actual data on properties, knows the local markets can compare the square footage, finishes, types of construction, lot sizes, property ages, neighborhoods, etc. of varying properties.

Additionally, in 7.5 years we will both be in our mid-50's, which is the age I would like to have the choice to "Do Whatever I Want".
