Assessing this deal has become unexpectedly challenging, yet I'm eager to dive into real estate.

Been asking all potential buyers for a POF to schedule showings for any wholesale properties we have under contract. 

Tough to give an opinion without having some more info on the property, area, and of course who you're trying to appeal to with a waterfront property (yourself, potential renters...?)

The involvement of onsite management, often seen as a potential red flag, can lead to the property failing crucial qualification tests.

Absolutely fair points and fair assessment of both Nimby's and Yimby's typically based on how they will be PERSONALLY affected. 

Columbus offers a lot of potential for future growth with many big-tech companies either moving into the market or expanding their business here, which is contributing to rapid economic development.

It all comes down to your assessment of risk.

As a Toledoan I resent that assessment.

That said, I see a lot of potential for things to go wrong and get messy here.
