I am developing my first vacant pieces of land to accommodate 29 Townhomes/Condos/SFA residences.

Obviously, this can impact your overall cash flow. 6) it’s important to find an agent that knows the area well and understands how to work with an investor, as the process is very different than buying a primary residence. these are all things to consider, and there is going to be a learning curve associated with the process.

@Chris Schoonhoven, Columbus Ohio is a great RE market.Speaking of Hilltop, you need to find the sweet spot, I own duplex there and is one of my favorite, not really in Westgate, but that particular block is nice with home owners who take care of their properties, purchasing price is low, tenants there are low-income working class, I did serious tenants screening, and am very happy with the ones I have, it produce the most profit out of all my investments.

Although I don't love the idea of wholesaling I'm willing to try it as a means of acquiring capital to invest in other opportunities.I'm also a new resident of Florida- Charlotte County area.

Make it clear he is liable for all the terms, just like the original tenant.Be careful when adding tenants.

We wound up having to replace our sewer line on our primary residence.

This can work - I personally would be very careful using my parents equity and start small but everyone has different risk tolerance.

First of all, the kids practiced at one of the best tennis clubs for free, because they lived on the South Side of Chicago - that's the mission of the club: to help local residents.

Are there similar patterns in your neighborhood/will tenants/other prospective buyers care about this also?

There are plenty of small local banks who do not bother to report on credit even on a primary residence.
