You might be out of $12,000 ion the spot.

The downside is you’re aren’t screening the tenants, and walkthrough inspections are harder to perform and spot “hidden” damage.  

They do an annual show on zipcodes which is pretty spot on. 

This feels like one of those spots that could really change over the next few years.I’m in Baton Rouge and have owned one midterm rental for about two years.

Columbus, Ohio is one of those spots—it's been getting a ton of attention lately because the macroeconomics are really strong here.

I'm just getting into real estate investing and curious if their are people in this platform who could potentially be in the same spot I'm in , " beginner" stage. 

That said, I’ve had better luck and heard good things from other investors in spots like West Park (Kamm’s Corners), parts of Old Brooklyn, and even Jefferson if you’re looking for C/C+ areas with solid long-term tenants and not too much turnover.

@James McGovern You're spot on — most wholesalers don’t care about being accurate because they’re not paid to be right.

Your approach here has definitely given me a lot to think about in terms of spotting hidden value.Curious, with the deferred maintenance challenges you faced, was there anything unexpected that came up during the rehab that you’d approach differently next time?

I will admit in some areas they are spot on but in others they WAY overvalued them.
