My advice (based on my own personal experience with investing in the Columbus, Ohio market) is to secure the asset even if it's not bringing in as much as you desire (within your finanial means of course) because today is the cheapest that property will ever be. 

Personally I live close by and I am all for it. 

Yes, I did notify in writing that the work that was done is very bad, I did visit the property once in person and met him.

& this is for properties with a value-add component via under-market rents. it has to be priced according to current rents, not potential rents. but also.. if the price you come to doesn't work with current rates, like it won't meet a 1.2x cashflow ratio or you personal COCR goals, offer what you want to offer & explain why!

Me personally, I don't like condos at all.

While no investment property will ever be perfect, in our personal experience buying from the SDIRA Wealth team has been positive.

And if you're not a savvy contract person, have the contract form reviewed by a seasoned real estate attorney. 

Keep it personal and authentic.

David,  I personally would not want to invest in a property where the buyer comes with the deal.

Buy a 4-5 bedroom if your budget allows and rent rooms.I have another strategy I can share with you in person as well.
