@Braeden CobbEven small value-add projects done in real estate specifically referring to multi-family properties can help out significantly in investment returns by boosting them.

I think you got it right when you said "possibly get something in return"I have invested in oil and gas for about 15 years and our family has owned wells since the 1940's.

I'm an out of state investor from California with $150k in cash looking to buy a single family in either Philadelphia PA or Columbus Ohio.Which area would you recommend between these two?

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

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.

You can't let either one go.....while you're there, get her family info, and neighbors information too.

Good Morning Bigger Pockets Family, I am from Jackson, Mississippi looking to invest in my first property, preferably a fix and flip since my father has been a painter for 25 years.

She ignored it all, then I get this handwritten letter with several photos of references to what she believe justifies her case. 

@Scott Trench I have family members who believe we’re failing, I guess it’s called “preppers”, they’ll call very concerned to let us know to take cash out for a bank run or stock up as food will be scarce next month or the last one was the eclipse was going to cause an earthquake taking out the Midwest.

To clarify, I am not paying rent currently (I have been giving cash to a family member but it would be hard to prove).
