We are a community of friendly, helpful, and hardworking RE investors.  

Need to sorround my self with successful RE investors and learn as much as I can.

I am available anytime to discuss.  

You can also ask in this local forum for recommendations on contractors, agents, etc https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/577-ohio-real-estate-q-a-discussion-forum

Now they've given up and just use the county assessor.We could have a whole new discussion about assessor methodology and why that's very problematic as well.Thanks for the post @Steve Theobald

This is a market-specific approach, so if RE in your area is slow/average then you may not be able to wait.

CA prime spots are a long term buy and hold play.. as we know the CA market is subject to some swings in values some can be dramatic.. but over time the state has shown some of the best performance in the entire US... but if your one who worries about value on a daily basis then RE can drive you nuts... if you have a long term investing horizon then you buy and hold and if and when we hit a trough you hold through the trough.. you only lose money when you sell at poor times. 

After improvements are completed I would like to re-sale (flip).

I'm new to the site and have been interested in RE Investing for many years, but now I'm doing something about it.I currently own my home and wanted to ask the following question prior to moving forward with any investments:Should I:A.
