For 10+ years, Engelo has stressed in every phone call, email, podcast, blog, newsletter, etc… the importance of building a larger portfolio in a tertiary market like Toledo.

Flex buildings. 

High BP, I’m very new yet have had years of credit cards, building credit and working on consolidation. 

Purchase price $500,000Property is 10 unit apartment building net rents ~$96,000 annual and NOI ~$57,000 which is accurate from 2023 proforma. 

When I was actively buying and building my best leads came from my barber.

what I'm telling people about hilltop is the only reason it's going up is because of the average housing price in columbus being pushed and the lack of inventory. when I started I'd have bought here too. if I was going to invest here I'd look at houses built after 1947 without knob and tube wiring, etc. the old housing is the problem. we are building now in downtown adjacent. land is a buyer's market and it's much less competitive and easy to get the numbers to work. there is very little construction in 43204 and I've transitioned to new construction triplex now with entitlement and larger multifamily projects feel free to message or call anytime. personally, l like new construction in 43203, 43205, 43206, 43223, 43222 right now and obviously 43215 which you have to have at least 600k in cash to get the land to entitle and want to build at least 100 units to make it worth it. 

This sounds like someone who is just difficult in general and probably has this attitude towards a lot of things in life. 

Plus as a "almost new build", that house is already raised to standards.

Self-managing out of state is difficult.

I have never heard of a program like that - I would be doubtful if it is worth it  - Understand a little about owner's motivation to sell. if a building is on the market for sale by FSBO, by agent or public auction - those sellers listing to sell are motivated - they may try to hide there desire to sell and say things like ''I ain't going to give it away!"
