I'm afraid skylights might leak or increase the cost. 

Leaks can be easy to fix or very costly to fix.  

You simply add up the “net sale price” (after removing selling COSTS, the mortgage isn’t a cost.) that how much you have to buy to avoid paying any taxes.

Also, they can help you understand the legal and administrative landscape, especially concerning Ohio’s property laws and rental regulations, which will be crucial in managing your properties effectively.

Hello,I have a property with a tenant that I inherited when I purchased the property..She is an older woman with adult children that, at one point, moved in with her without notifying me.We've got that all cleaned up, but now she is adopting a 2yo child.It's a noble act, but how does this effect me as the owner?

Down payments are still standard for FHA or conventional (3.5% of the total cost, purchase+construction) and rates are on par with standard FHA rates. 

And most tenants will not hire a pro painter, but just do it themselves.....Not priming over old trim, sloppy paint, drips, etc...will just cost you much more to fix when they move out.Using a Licensed or professional painter that they pay for would be a different matter, then I wouldn't mind.

Corporate travel, divorce, etc. are other potential tenants.If costs in your market allow, I would encourage a duplex purchase vs SF...potentially 2 income streams vs 1 would help offset the extra cost of a duplex.  

Plus there would be closing costs again.We are open minded about solutions. 

Usually after walking through the property he is able to give me a good ball park figure of what the renovation should cost barring unforeseen issues.
