Also wanted to buy this property as it was a board up directly across from my first investment property so by improving it I helped the neighborhood values and keeping the area up.

The property will come with a private dock boat slip that is shared by 16 other owners (full time and part time) in the neighborhood.

I did a duplex renovation did fine. very strong urban core market strong appreciation, we see new build activity there, I would stay north of 104. we would build around there and we only do urban core or urban core adjacent in columbus. look at new construction if you can't find inventory you like. plenty of lots all good appreciation in the urban core, strongest rents.

Start small... maybe the 1-4 unit building, and then look for the next one.  

I went to the building and saw where they can get into the building but not necessarily the vents.

I like it vs doing an older building where you're spot fixing problems and are hoping nothing to signicant is hiding in walls. 

I and other investors have bought 10+ unit building or packages that are in disrepair, run by landlords with no funds or inclination to rehab them and as a result were rented at very low rates to tenants who wouldn’t complain about all the problems.

Plus they are getting super expensive to build.
