I'm looking at some rural properties, specifically in Ohio, within 1-2 hours of Columbus - but mostly asking in general - to investors who buy or own rural properties...How difficult has it been, in your experience, to find contractors for rehabbing & renovating your rural properties?

The property is based in Columbus Ohio any referrals would be appreciated.

Hello All - I am looking for any recommendations/suggestions on the type of property and area to invest in a cash flow property in the Columbus OH market.

Macon, Columbus, Miledgeville, on and on.   

I recommend the major cities in Ohio:-Columbus, great for appreciation, pp is a bit higher around $220k for multifamily-Cincinnati, has a mix of cash flow and appreciation, average multifamily around $180k-Cleveland, has alot of cashflow potential, average multifam around $140kThere are other smaller markets like Dayton, Akron, and Toledo, however there is not alot of economic drivers to those areas.Looking for cashflow?

However, I am in Columbus OH.

I am currently looking into Dayton and Columbus, mainly Dayton.

@David Daily I've seen some contractors do a cost plus in Columbus OH.

Cash out refi 80% of your equity leaving your original 20%'s down on all your properties and take that and buy multi-family in Columbus, OH.

Hi BP Experts,I was checking for one of the listing in market and found that though listing has 1.5 bath , however franklin county website shows only 1 bath in the plan.Checking are there any implication associated with purchase of such property like legal actions at later point of time, getting it financed etc or this is completely common in Columbus / Ohio market.Also out of curiosity what does it takes to register this .5 bath to Franklin county and can it be denied, if so what's the further actions associated with same.Thanks
