While I'm not yet familiar with the neighborhoods in Columbus, I'm specifically looking for a small multi-family rental property that will offer long-term appreciation potential.

Look for are­as with strong rental demand, affordable prope­rties, and potential for property appre­ciation.

                      - Duplex- pro's- renter's rent money will pay for half of mortgage, after that is paid off, move to a house, have passive income x2, most living space. con's- biggest down payment, outside the city, risk of terrible renter, locking us down for at least 7-10+ years to at least make it worth it.Overall, I hate wasting money. 

However, there is a significant risk factor here due to the "due on sale" clause found in most mortgage agreements.

Counter argument:Paying off a house reduces risk by eliminating mortgage payments.

Wholesaling is a good place to start as you can make some money and not have any risks.

However, every time a showing is scheduled the place is so messy that it is impossible to get inside without tripping or potential injury.

What are the risk? 

We could potentially vet the leads we give you before as well as underwrite the property and find an appraiser so its very streamline for you and my clients. 

Depending on your risk tolerance, make sure you are financially ready for the worst scenario.
