As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!

I was steered towards Columbus OH by an agent I met here on BP.

The property is located in Florida and I would like to have the property completely vacant for the sale because I know her unit and her mess will turn away any potential buyer.

Interestingly, the best offer we had for the property paying us all cash (with the buyer obtaining new financing) was $1.55 million.  

Or just $110,000 when you sell the property in 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, whenever you can find a buyer?  

My agent and lawyer and loan officer obviously are pushing to close fast.
