I wouldn't touch anything outside the urban core. if your strategy is to buy existing and old I'd recommend not to. as a newer investor depending on your liquidity look at build to rent development. building investment properties below market value by 25% and refinancing out of it to do it again. the urban core has tax abatements as well that are 15 years right now you can apply for. that means that taxes will be around $600 to $800 per year. there's cash Flow but the existing inventory market dried up a few years ago in the urban core. local realtors are going to push you to the trash areas like hilltop, south linden, etc because it's the only place numbers work. columbus is great, but remember a tenant who pays $1800 a month is different than a tenant who pays $900 a month. let me know if I can help any other way! 

Well, what would be happening is that your buyer would be buying your house subject to the existing note, since you can't legally sell the property without paying off that note or transferring the debt to the new buyer.

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment. 

Purchase price: $205,000 Cash invested: $165,000 Sale price: $455,000 Gut of existing single family shell.

All of the endpoints (Bathrooms and kitchen) are on the back side of the house, so I am wondering if we could save money by going in through the back of the house, and then trenching a new sewage line from the back of the house around to the front to tie into the existing sewage line.  

If the gap still exists, is it more narrow today than it was during the lower rate environment?
