I definitely want to align myself with a good brokerage and start building good reputation. 

Also, having a rehab budget already laid out with explanations on how you got the numbers would help and is definitely a plus when I look at deals even though I typically wont use their numbers it at least shows a little more effort. 

@Steven Catudalyep i'm not saying there isn't value there - there definitely is. 

In the city or more urban neighborhoods though it's definitely more commonplace.I've added off street parking behind a property off an alley like you said at least a handful of times.

I’ll definitely explore the tools and resources provided—having access to updated market insights and deal analysis tools sounds incredibly helpful.I appreciate your offer to connect and discuss financial strategies.

It also makes me wonder how many other issues I just haven't noticed yet will come to haunt me.  

From experience with mechanical and utility issues in distressed properties, I would also wonder why the breakers were removed.

I'd definitely recommend considering the Columbus OH market - it's got strong macroeconomics with major employers coming in and developing here, steady population and job growth, and prices that still make sense for cash flow.

This definitely gave me a confidence boost! 

This will definitely help dial in my neighborhood search.
