I feel that my money would go further and be safer splitting a property with him (helping him as well) than in my inflated market.So i guess in general with this post, I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has experience in the area, specific areas to invest in, connections with investor friendly RE agents/contractors/property managers, anything will help.  

I'm sure people who succeed in this niche have it broken down to make it easier and/or have a tougher stomach than I do, but for now, it's not an area I plan on getting into.Good luck to you!

For reference, I authored two books for BP, one of which is specifically geared towards teaching the methodology for estimating rehabs...feel free to check it out:http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

What specifically do you disagree with about that sort of goal setting?

To be a little more specific I'm looking for potential partners with experience to do fix/flips outside of OC, I have capital and am ultimately looking to do more buy and holds but I think the market (especially in OC) is high.

If you're located in Columbus, or Ohio I would love to hear about networking opportunities or resources specific to our city / state.Looking forward to getting to know you all!

A robust farmer's market, a new artists district, several new niche employers building down on Exchange St, a micro micro brewery, a proposed $400M expansion of the Historic District to the south of 25th St, and a huge mixed-use development in the works in East Central where the old Rite Aid was.Sounds great, but it's still planet Ogden. 

Although it may be unlikely, it may depend on the company and their specific rules.  

PM me & I will give you all the details of what specific properties & margins I am looking for.

Should I purchase the business under my current LLC, and then create an LLC for that specific property?
