@Nathan Hawkins We have a monthly networking meetup called REI Central for investors in the Charleston area.

Has anyone actually gotten "a few thousand in Property tax reduction" simply by planting 6+ fruit trees, or just a temporary reduction in assessed value based on the cost of the multiple fruit trees being exempt from counting as an improvement (temporarily) called an "ORCHARD"??

If you need clarification - call me.To avoid confusion, simply provide the dollar amounts for 1 and 2 in your response.  

If so I would look at leveraging an FHA loan product for 3.5% down on a duplex, triplex or quadplex (what some call a "house hack").

The question I ask myself is 'If I need to call someone for a minor fix, how much will that cost?

It's too much to write down in sufficient detail but I am happy to tell you about in a call if you re up for it.

You might call their Online Contracts department and see if they'll flex.  

I can't tell you how many investors call me asking to compare or analyze a duplex and when I show them new construction and existing inventory no deal can ever touch it.

Give them a call or stop in and try. 

all the agents in columbus are doing is calling multifamily owners off market on dialers forcing them to sell a little less than market value or setting them up on searches. correct no value. they are taking two sides and selling places 60 years old without underwriting or value proposition.
