Good morning everyone,Just wanted to update everyone that I just closed on my first real estate deal in Columbus, OH.

2 tenants in this duplex 1 pays on time every month the other one pays like 5 days late for 50% of rent then pays the rest even later if I evict I would have to give a 90 day notice as they have been there for a while (this is in ny) my property manager also thinks if I evict I can get 10-20% higher on this unit (this is my first property so i don't love taking on so much risk) just not sure what the correct move is here.

This would be out first investment property outside of owning our single family here.

Save up for your first deal, complete it successfully, and present that experience to an investor.

My wife and I are passionate about real estate and have secured our first investment property this year of 2024 on Hawaii island.

I come from a structural engineering background, and I find comfort in calculations--the numbers don't lie.I confidently bought my first BRRRR (small multifamily) within 6 months of finishing the book.

I am a new investor planning to owner occupy my first multi unit property.  

I’m trying to get loan for my first rental investment and I was wondering does anybody have experience using a Mortgage broker that service the Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Springfield Ohio areas?

Context:*For my business - I had initially setup a profit-first system w/ multiple bank accounts at my local credit union*For the properties under management -  I setup two trust accounts (rents and deposits) with Chase. 

I’ve been a BP PRO for a few years but I’m introducing myself for the very first time now.
