I know in most neighborhoods the transect zones will bring mostly minimal changes to lots, but I think certain areas like this one potentially stand to gain allowable density.

Another thing you should consider doing is to get your financing figured out and have them give you a loan letter that states the average loan closing time and the maximum amount you qualified for.Another thing you should do before you start investing is to locate your new office location that is convenient and has minimal distractions.

Hamilton County is currently looking at an 8-12 month delay between Sheriff Sale and deed recording.I have very clearly been saying that Ohio doesn't honor Equitable Interest or any of the other theories as it relates to wholesalers advertising houses.

A presale is regular cash out sale - Not much creative but can provide a delay that you will need as an investor to conclude the transaction.If PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is involved a company may subsidize the sale even if the property has negative equity.

Along with what you stated above is the fact that "delayed gratification" is lost.
