Hi, people/clients would definitely agree that Ohio is a good place to invest in real estate.

Overall Cost-Effectiveness: Is there any real financial benefit to taking this route, or is it essentially the same as just selling?

looking at the website 1 to 50 mil deals and for a REAL lender not a fake lender.10k due diligence on a large deal is pretty standard stuff.. but what i would caution you on is thismake sure before you go down this road that you are realistic about your ability to get multi million dollar loans.the main thing is there is going to need to be real equity in the form of cash .. 

Even if you pay cash for the property, create a mortgage for the property through a trust you set up so that the property has sufficient liens to keep the bad guys from your business.  

Hey guys,I'm a local real estate investor & agent in Watertown NY.  

A common mistake I observe are investors focused on unit count rather than the fundamentals of the underlying real estate that's being bought.

Thought this would be a cool topic to see what Chicago BP investors seeing for real life rent growth in 2024? 

Hi BiggerPockets Fam,I’m reaching out for advice regarding a challenging situation my husband and I are facing with a real estate investment. 

Property 1:Purchase price - $73,000Mortgage - NONE (Paid Cash)Monthly Rent - $875Monthly Profit - $580Property 2:Purchase price - $65,000Mortgage - NONE (Paid Cash)Monthly Rent - $950Monthly Profit - $750Property 3:Purchase Price - $107,500Mortgage - $80,625 Monthly Rent - $1300Monthly Profit - $435Current Cash Available - $110,000Current Available Equity - $96,500 Cumulative Total - $206,500The available equity was a HELOC loan that was given at 70% LTV so those are real numbers, they would be from property 1 and property 2.The reason im typing this is because I would like to know if there were any builders that could give a rough estimate of building cost per square foot in Kansas City area or suburbs.

My husband and I are new to real estate investing and currently seeking for our first rental property investment, preferably a multifamily (2-4 unit) home.
