I personally like to invest in colombus and it is great for equity plays and appreciation.

Many properties at lower price points are technically livable but dated, and expectations play a big role in whether a deal feels workable or disappointing.If your goal is investment-focused rather than owner-occupied, expanding the search radius or adjusting the strategy slightly can open more doors.

The sub-$160/sqft in Exeter is definitely eye-catching - you don't see that often in coastal NH.On the historic (1700s) construction question, I've seen this play out both ways.

I think area it's in will play a factor too.

I'll send you a DM with the info, would love for you to play around with it and give me feedback. 

If your BTR buyer can build now and rent for 3-5 years before sewer arrives, that's actually a play - they lock in lower land basis while building equity during the wait.

Hey Robert, I would like to recommend something that I have found helpful.Very simple- go to a mortgage calculator online (a free one that does not require you to input any information about yourself)- take the amount of $100,000 as your purchase price, and play with the variables- hold everything constant, but vary your down payment amount (5%, 10%, 20%, etc) and see what that does to the mortgage amount- then hold everything constant and do the same for interest rate (4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, etc)By doing this on a simple amount of $100,000, you can begin to see the magnitude of changes to down payment and interest rateDepending on the situation, this may end up surprising you.

Are the tools and templates (like the policies manual) truly plug-and-play or did they need major customization?

Then put a long term lease in play for your business, and then sell the real estate off as a sale leaseback.  

If there is to be a personal use side sometimes the financials play a less important role and other things become more important.
