In the past year, the amount of out of state investors that are seeking property in Columbus has easily doubled.  

Hello BP NY - I'm seeking a home inspector recommendation in Binghamton, NY.

Remember, builders seek to make a 10% profit margin, so if it was possible for them to make 20-30% consistently on $100k fix and flips they would probably stop building and start rehabbing.

All of this assumes you have time and the desire to seek out your own investment properties.

The person you are seeking is someone who doesn't know what can happen if things go wrong. 

True professionals have valuable information, and are most likely charging for it.If you find someone who is where you want to be, put in the work to study them, watch what they do, listen to what they say, pay for information they have.The first step to success is to train your brain to seek information then take action,  not to wait for it to come to you.

What LTV are they seeking?

There are options.Easiest is seek a local bank out for a portfolio loan. 

If you are truly seeking market rent than there could be a problem in the marketing of the property.

Judges are like most of us; we hate to see someone taken advantage of, and will seek every legal reason to "make it right".
