As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!

Air leaks around these openings are often pretty easy to improve.

But many others, especially traditional layouts that need updates, even easy, cosmetic ones that have dark paint, old carpet, appliances, etc., are just sitting, so you won't have as much competition there but may have to take some time to update.     

I'm looking for recommendations on REI meetups in the Triangle area to network and connect with other investors.

You always have the option of walking away.My recommended course of action is that you extend the contract so that you get YOUR OWN hvac guy can get out to take a look.Your hvac guy won't mind the quick and easy job of diagnosis, give him an hour or two of work, have him write up a lightly padded repair estimate and hand that over to the seller and ask for that amount to be credited.

It appears to be an easy installation process as well.

Please feel free to DM me if you have any follow up questions or would just like to connect :)

If you ever want to connect to discuss your goals and create a roadmap for success, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy to connect to see if I can help.

If someone connected with you has signing authority, you can be found via that connection.
