Very few homes had tile roofs that are the norm for middle of the road and up homes where I live.It can't be because of the heat because in the Central valley it gets hot here.

May be able to do some preventative maintenance that will save you a headache down the road.

I then left him with the advice to try and find a realtor and maybe market it himself on craigslist but to beware because that is where newbie investors that don't have a pot to you know what in go to search for their first deal so he will likely get a lot of calls from people that can't really close or have no clue what they are doing.I just wanted to help the guy out and build some trust in case he changes his mind later on down the road.

There are a little over 300 properties on the market at this time that can be bought for less than $100,000.Some of these are less than $20,000, for example, 1971 Aberdeen Avenue, Columbus OH 43211 listed for $14,900 and 4874 Ridge Street, Columbus OH 43207 is listed for $16,100Both of these properties obviously need to be rehabbed but there are others that cost a bit more but are turnkey like the one below:Listed at $69,900.00 This Single-Family Freestanding at 2228 Gerbert Road, Columbus 43211.

Even if you built it for $700,000 it's likely the resale value won't be worth $700,00 for Coffey park at the time of completion, eventually they value should catch up, but that probably won't happen for years down the road.

I know down the road I wont be doing it my self but sometimes I like learning the hard way, I think it gives you wisdom in that particular field to have gone through it. 

When/if you sell do the 1031 exchange and kick those taxes down the road. :)

So I'm at a road block ATM because I can't fund any properties that are really good deals.ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.Thanks for reading

Private investors are the hardest to land unless you know them personally which you should.. if your cold calling private folks that can be a tough road to Ho..

There were a few bumps along the road, but the company handled them all well.
