G'Day everyone,Over the years I have spoken to thousands of real estate investors through my various companies.They all seem to be caught up on the "Financial Freedom" buzz word.I'm posting today to open your eyes up to a different approach. 

See their handiwork, tour the neighborhood, look them in the eye.

It really sounds like the latest PM company was shady as none of the tenants could never get a hold of them and from the looks of the property, never set eyes on it once to take care of any repairs. 

Keep an eye out for "Old North" Columbus which is north of the university and south of clintonville. you get a mix of young professionals with graduate students and deals tend to be a bit better than very close to the university.

That is worth how I work in my eyes. 

He said something that really opened my eyes about vacancy - "A certain level of vacancy is HEALTHY for an asset, because you know you're actually getting the right amount in rent.

Rents for each unit are between $550 and $600 as of now, so the $700 cut off you mentioned caught my eye.

I have concentrated my research on FL and in the Tampa area, for no specific reason or personal preference...In the past few weeks, I have been in contact with an agent/broker doing this kind of work and having a team for the closing/taxes etc.. able to manage the property and all, he seems good and has provided lots of time without asking for a penny (which is the job of a RE broker, only its a lot more time consuming when the buyer is not present ...)Now I have my eyes on a property (it will be the 4th offer through him, the previous ones did not go through) and I would like to ask seasoned RE investors here a few questions...The house is advertised as a duplex 2/1 + 1/1 but after the visit I was told that an extra split had been done so it looks now like a triplex 3* 1/1 ...

I have a problem...I was born with an eye issue.

You can with a blink of an eye.
