I'm an out-of-state investor that invests in Columbus so even though I'm not on the ground in Columbus, I've built some solid connections and team members if you ever wanted to sync.

Two agents are often the boots in the ground who know about future deals and properties.

You need boots on the ground to do all the dirty work for you. 

I have a newbie question and it's about my own place on the ground floor of a three family building I own, built in 1890 in urban Northeast USA.The space has a good sized pantry off a large kitchen.  

Hi @Daniel FierrosIt's all depend on the market how much will it take to rehab and if you can not find any new homes around, maybe is not a good idea to just keep it for the land.Most of the time building for ground will cost you more that rehab and in a lot of market it doesn't make sense.Good luck!

When he takes a break he pointed the roller up and sits the other end of the extension pole on the ground, and he pushed the pole inside this cup holder thing, so it won't tip over...while he smoked a cigarette in one hand and worked his mobile phone with the other hand.Then I noticed he walked funny, dragging his feet. 

It can be a little frustrating because there will be some stubborn tiles that you'll have to use a ton of force to dislodge from the ground, but it's doable.  

Most of the markets frankly are interchangeable.. its all about the team on the ground... from your rehabber to your PM and PM being absolutely critical to your success in these markets..

It is also an active construction site and not a play ground.  

He has a construction back ground too and knows a good PM, so he says.
