Property appraised for 245k; however, it was classified as a c5 which prevented most lenders from issuing conventional financing.I contested the appraisal and the appraiser held their ground, but their supervisor told me that if I slapped a coat of paint on the cabinets (these needed to be replaced due to wood rot) it would be an easy c4.I paid $520 for a new appraisal, contacted all my family and friends, deep cleaned the home and put a fresh coat of paint on the rotted cabinets and over the doors.

The efforts that projects of this nature take are massive but the results are more than worth it.https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2023/11/27/columbus-home-for-human-trafficking-survivors-harriets-hope-to-open/71625032007/One-of-a-kind home for human trafficking survivors to open next month in ColumbusDanae KingColumbus DispatchOn Friday, survivors of human trafficking will walk into their brand new home: a place where each fixture and detail was chosen especially for them by fellow survivors.The home is Harriet’s Hope — named for abolitionist Harriet Tubman — a 52-unit housing community that can host multiple families and was designed specifically for human trafficking survivors.The one-of-a-kind community comes out of a public-private partnership that brought together Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost; Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA); CVS Health and OhioRISE, the CVS/Aetna-owned Medicaid program; Beacon 360 Management and many others.The Dec. 1 opening of Harriet's Hope, a community on Columbus' West Side whose exact location isn't being shared to protect survivor's safety, was announced at the Ohio Statehouse this morning.A call to actionThe project started a few years ago as a vision of Celia Kendall, the CEO of Beacon 360 Management, a nonprofit real estate developer and management firm based in Columbus with 28 communities across Ohio.Kendall got the idea for Harriet's Hope after being unsettled by what she saw doing street outreach with women being trafficked six years ago."

Should I continue to invest/reinvest in syndications or look at STR’s, smaller multi families?

Sold to a developer who intends to put a single family home on the lot.

Thanks @Travis Moe unfortunately the zoning designations of "multi-family, single family, other residential" isn't granular enough for me (I need the exact zoning).

I will say though we kind of built the right product for this market cycle.. big single levels with 3 car garages catering to the empty nester and down sizer we get buyers coming in off their small oregon hobby farm .. our first time move up buyer did slow a ton but we have sold to families as well just not like it was pre interest rate spike.. our other folks are either paying cash or borrowing very little so interest rates are not affecting them.
