I would connect with an investor friendly agent who is located in the market/near the market you're looking to buy in.

Anyone that would reach out....Sellers, agents, we just want to start long term  connections. 

So my advice is to start getting out of your comfort zone, start reaching out to people on social media, go to local meetings and start making connections and creating relationships with people in the real estate business.

I would expect a 7% appreciation in property value per year is also a feasible target - this is dependant on where you will be living.I have found multiple properties that are close to fitting this build for another client just this week.I would be pleased to connect with you to discuss further if you would like.Respectfully,Chris

Happy to connect you with some local property managers and lenders that I've used and would recommend here in Columbus.

Feel free to connect. 

Reach out if you'd like to connect!

I'll be happy to connect if you have any questions or concerns.

-Site work: typically $10K is a good number to start with, which includes preparing the building pad, connecting utilities, plus a small amount of landscape and concrete work.Other costs (not typically required): Additional structural engineering, Civil engineering, Soils engineeringAlso, the cost would be around $75K for a standard garage conversion project of about 400 sqft....$8-10K for plans/design/engineering, $3-5K permits/fees, rest construction costs.

Happy to meet everyone and look forward to making connections.
