I am looking to purchase a property in the Richfield OH area.

I am also from Colorado but currently work and plan to invest in Columbus Ohio!

Oh that's the notorious "do not invest zone" - sorry this happened to you!

I am a Realtor in Ohio specializing in investment sales.

Oh, and they paid my car insurance as well.

I am new to real estate investing. A friend and me want to find a duplex preferably so we can start by house hacking. After reading Craig Curelop's book The House Hacking Strategy we were convinced to give it a try. W...

Sounds to me like you aren't really entitled to anything if there is no lease in place with this individual and they know that.In Ohio, oral agreements are valid.

The house was gifted to my father from a family member so he has no money invested in it other than maintenance that comes from the rent, he has rented it out over 20 years but now would like to sell it to me to live in for 40,000.00 well below fair market value at around 100,000.00 My question is if I purchase it from him and something happens after the sale to my father and he needs healthcare more than he has money for can the county or state come back on me and take the house or make me pay the state of Ohio the difference?

@Tracy Streich oh...ok I see.

Oh wow, yeah lots of untapped potential!
