Hi everyone I’m new to investing and wanted to get some tips and share as well. 

Lastly, it's super landlord friendly and the price point for finding positive cash flow is still very low (you can still find tons of great deals for $120-180k purchase price).On the other hand, other Ohio markets like Cleveland and Cincy are dying if you look at their population and job growth.

That could be a viable strategy in your market (OC).

DTI and Credit scores are excellent and the property has been owned for more than one year.I realize that there is a "Find a Lender" function on this website, but I really don't want to be spammed with marketing emails. 

I am actively researching markets like Cleveland and Columbus, but I remain very open to other opportunities.My goals are to successfully fund and execute a BRRRR project, build a team of veteran investors and mentors, and continue learning to attain financial freedom through real estate.Excited to connect with seasoned investors and mentors.

They are currently paying $1050 and the current market rent is $2000.

4 units are great because they give you the option to rent some units out while you're working on fixing the other ones up and there is a lot of rental demand in Cleveland and surrounding neighborhoods right now, so it's a great time to get in the market!  

It's still only 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and I am in the hole about 140k and fair market value is about $145K-50K. 

Adding additional assets, a familiar market, buying a house "for free" as I call it, and gaining experience with lower level of risk How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
