Does anyone have any contacts who have done similar affordable cost builds.

Full-service property managers" or Turnkey providers aren't really a thing in Columbus because if you want a deal that makes sense you need to source it yourself off-market to add value and provide it to clients.

I had several other investors lined up interested in this deal...

Each unit in teh building has their own master water shutoff valve, so I can't imagine it will be that difficult to get some hardware + automated billing system through someone.

Best of luck with your first deal, and feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions.

I typically walk the properties for them, facetime and help analyze the deals prior to them coming up to view themselves.

To be only exclusive to this agent when trying to find good deals? 

I'm 23 years old and plan to use real estate for my retirement, but that's in the distant future.My question is whether it's better to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible or to buy a rental property as soon as possible.My thoughts are that if I pay off my home, I'll have security and more money each month to invest, as I won't have to make mortgage or rent payments.

There are always good deals around so you didn't "miss" the opportunity, at least not entirely.

Having trouble analyzing this deal as there are so many variables and I do not have the experiencing analyzing deals to make me feel comfortable taking the risk.Purchase price of the land would be $250,000 not including closing cost or fees, and construction for a new 3/2 home with an attached 1/1 ADU is estimated to cost around $300,000 - $400,000 finished.
