Central Ohio Housing Market Update
Although inventory remains low, nearly 3,000 new homes were added to the market this October, 7% more than this time last year. Despite the low inventory, homes are continuing to sell. Last month, 2,348 homes sold, making October 2015 the 2nd most productive October in Central Ohio history. Due to the low amount of homes for sale, and high demand from buyers, we will continue to see prices rise and days on market shrink. Columbus REALTOR’s president, Kathy Shiflet, recently said, “It’s well past the Summer season and buyers are still eager to find that new home and make it their own; If you’ve considered putting your home on the market at all, it’s still a great time to do so.” For a detailed real estate market report on your neighborhood, or for any other real estate questions, please contact the Alfriend Group at (614) 395-1776.

Top 4 Advantages of Multi-Unit Investing
While many investors concentrate on some aspect of single family houses, there are some distinct advantages and differences to investing in multi-unit properties.From the very beginning of my investing in real estate, I liked the idea that a group of people (the tenants in a building) would get together and pool their money to pay down the mortgage on a property, and I liked the idea that they would also pool their money together to pay for all of the maintenance work for a building. In doing so, I also realized that there are certain advantages that investing in multi-units buildings had over single families. Listed below are the top 4 advantages of multi-unit investment properties:

    1. Cash Flow: Cash flow on a multi-family is always greater than that of a single family. Simply because you have more rents coming in. The more units you have under one roof, the less risk you have. If you have a single family house and you lose your tenant, you’ve lost 100% of your income. In some instances, this could be your entire profit for the year. If you had a three family and lost a tenant, you still have two rents coming in to pay your expenses.


    1. Economies of Scale: If you have six single family houses opposed to one six family, you have six roofs to be replaced or repaired, six lawns to be maintain, and six tenants spread out through out your city or town. In your six family unit you have one roof, one lawn, and your tenants are centrally located. Economies of scale are in your favor.


    1. Competition: There’s a lot less competition than there are in single family houses. Why? Because no one is out there teaching how to do it and all the single family guru’s make flipping single family houses sound as easy as chewing gum in the dark. The smart investors put multi-units in their portfolios along with single family houses.


  1. Management Companies: Because of the bigger cash flows, you can afford to hire management companies to manage your tenants, thus eliminating that hassle while you go out and do what you do best (or should do best), find and finance them.

  6. I have taken note that of all sorts of insurance, medical insurance is the most questionable because of the clash between the insurance policy company’s duty to remain adrift and the user’s need to have insurance. Insurance companies’ commission rates on health and fitness plans are extremely low, hence some providers struggle to make money. Thanks for the suggestions you reveal through this web site.

  7. I additionally believe that mesothelioma cancer is a exceptional form of most cancers that is often found in all those previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cells form in the mesothelium, which is a safety lining which covers a lot of the body’s organs. These cells usually form from the lining from the lungs, belly, or the sac which encircles the heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

  10. I would also love to add that in case you do not currently have an insurance policy or you do not belong to any group insurance, you could possibly well take advantage of seeking aid from a health insurance agent. Self-employed or those with medical conditions normally seek the help of an health insurance brokerage. Thanks for your post.

  12. The things i have generally told individuals is that when evaluating a good internet electronics retail outlet, there are a few factors that you have to take into account. First and foremost, you should really make sure to find a reputable and in addition, reliable shop that has gotten great opinions and ratings from other customers and industry leaders. This will make certain you are handling a well-known store that provides good service and aid to their patrons. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this website.

  19. I have been surfing on-line more than three hours these days, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It?s pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the web can be much more useful than ever before.

  20. Good blog post. Some tips i would like to add is that laptop or computer memory should be purchased but if your computer cannot cope with everything you do by using it. One can deploy two random access memory boards of 1GB each, for instance, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should make sure the car maker’s documentation for one’s PC to be certain what type of memory space is essential.

  21. Great post. I used to be checking constantly this blog and I’m inspired! Very useful info particularly the remaining part 🙂 I care for such information much. I was seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time. Thanks and good luck.

  24. Unquestionably consider that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest factor to remember of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while other folks think about worries that they plainly don’t recognize about.

  26. Thanks for the strategies you reveal through your blog. In addition, lots of young women which become pregnant never even try and get medical health insurance because they worry they couldn’t qualify. Although a few states currently require that insurers give coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Premiums on these guaranteed programs are usually bigger, but when considering the high cost of medical treatment it may be a new safer approach to take to protect a person’s financial potential.

  27. One other thing I would like to express is that as an alternative to trying to fit all your online degree lessons on days and nights that you end work (since most people are drained when they return home), try to find most of your instructional classes on the weekends and only a few courses for weekdays, even if it means a little time off your saturdays. This is really good because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be more rested as well as concentrated for school work. Thanks a bunch for the different suggestions I have figured out from your weblog.

  28. What i do not realize is actually how you’re not really much more well-liked than you might be now. You’re very intelligent. You realize thus considerably relating to this subject, produced me personally consider it from numerous varied angles.

  29. I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this sort of space . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this website. Studying this information So i?m glad to convey that I’ve a very just right uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I such a lot definitely will make sure to don?t disregard this site and provides it a glance regularly.

  32. I will also like to convey that most individuals that find themselves without the need of health insurance are normally students, self-employed and those that are without a job. More than half on the uninsured are under the age of 35. They do not experience they are in need of health insurance because they are young plus healthy. Their particular income is usually spent on real estate, food, along with entertainment. Many individuals that do work either entire or part-time are not made available insurance by means of their work so they proceed without due to the rising valuation on health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the concepts you share through this web site.

  33. After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any method you may remove me from that service? Thanks!

  35. Hiya, I’m really glad I’ve found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is really frustrating. A good blog with interesting content, this is what I need. Thanks for keeping this website, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.

  38. I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate financial transaction, a payment is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the payment. Rather, they fight to win the commission simply by doing an agent’s occupation. In doing so, they expend their money along with time to conduct, as best they’re able to, the jobs of an representative. Those duties include uncovering the home by way of marketing, showing the home to all buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, preparing home inspections, handling qualification check ups with the mortgage lender, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.

  40. Thanks for your submission. I would also like to opinion that the very first thing you will need to do is determine if you really need credit repair. To do that you will need to get your hands on a copy of your credit history. That should never be difficult, because the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to get one absolutely free copy of your actual credit report annually. You just have to ask the right folks. You can either look at website for that Federal Trade Commission or contact one of the main credit agencies right away.

  41. One thing I would like to say is the fact that before acquiring more laptop or computer memory, have a look at the machine directly into which it will be installed. In the event the machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, a memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Adding above this would just constitute a new waste. Make sure that one’s mother board can handle the particular upgrade amount, as well. Thanks for your blog post.

  43. Thanks for your handy post. Through the years, I have come to be able to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by this build up of fluid involving the lining on the lung and the breasts cavity. The illness may start from the chest vicinity and spread to other areas of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include fat loss, severe inhaling trouble, nausea, difficulty eating, and irritation of the neck and face areas. It must be noted that some people having the disease will not experience virtually any serious signs at all.

  44. I?m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that?s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the difficulty is something that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I’m very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing referring to this.

  45. There are definitely loads of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to carry up. I supply the ideas above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up where crucial factor will likely be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged round issues like that, however I’m positive that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Each boys and girls really feel the impression of only a moment?s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

  47. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  48. Thanks for your advice on this blog. One thing I would choose to say is purchasing electronics items from the Internet is nothing new. The fact is, in the past several years alone, the marketplace for online electronics has grown significantly. Today, you can find practically almost any electronic system and tools on the Internet, from cameras and also camcorders to computer components and gambling consoles.

  50. I have seen that currently, more and more people will be attracted to video cameras and the industry of photography. However, as a photographer, you must first commit so much period deciding which model of photographic camera to buy as well as moving store to store just so you could potentially buy the least expensive camera of the trademark you have decided to decide on. But it does not end at this time there. You also have to think about whether you can purchase a digital video camera extended warranty. Thanks a bunch for the good ideas I gathered from your site.

  53. One thing I’d prefer to say is that often before purchasing more laptop memory, look into the machine in to which it will be installed. Should the machine will be running Windows XP, for instance, a memory ceiling is 3.25GB. The installation of a lot more than this would just constitute some sort of waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle your upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.

  54. One more thing. It’s my opinion that there are lots of travel insurance websites of trustworthy companies that permit you to enter holiday details and get you the quotations. You can also purchase your international travel cover policy on internet by using your current credit card.

  56. The things i have observed in terms of laptop or computer memory is always that there are features such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must match the specific features of the motherboard. If the computer’s motherboard is very current and there are no operating-system issues, improving the memory space literally normally requires under an hour or so. It’s among the easiest pc upgrade procedures one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

  69.

  83. I have observed that in video cameras, specialized detectors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those kind of sensors regarding some cameras change in contrast, while others utilize a beam involving infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher specs cameras oftentimes use a mixture of both techniques and may have Face Priority AF where the video camera can ‘See’ a new face while keeping your focus only upon that. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this site.

  85. I think that a foreclosures can have a important effect on the borrower’s life. Property foreclosures can have a 6 to 10 years negative influence on a debtor’s credit report. The borrower who’s applied for home financing or virtually any loans for example, knows that the particular worse credit rating is, the more challenging it is to obtain a decent personal loan. In addition, it could affect a new borrower’s power to find a really good place to let or hire, if that gets the alternative homes solution. Great blog post.

  86. Thanks a lot for your post. I would like to say that the price of car insurance varies from one coverage to another, simply because there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost.

  93. Wonderful beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a blog website? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I had been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered bright clear concept

  94. Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, wonderful site!

  96. I discovered more new things on this weight reduction issue. One particular issue is that good nutrition is very vital while dieting. A tremendous reduction in bad foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white flour products may perhaps be necessary. Possessing wastes parasites, and toxic compounds may prevent ambitions for fat-loss. While a number of drugs for the short term solve the condition, the bad side effects are certainly not worth it, and so they never offer you more than a short-term solution. It is a known undeniable fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your notions on this web site.

  99. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

  101. You’re so interesting! I do not suppose I have read through something like that before. So nice to find someone with some original thoughts on this issue. Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This site is something that is needed on the internet, someone with a little originality.

  102. I do like the way you have framed this matter plus it does give me personally a lot of fodder for thought. On the other hand, through just what I have experienced, I just simply wish when the actual commentary pile on that people today keep on point and in no way start on a tirade of some other news du jour. All the same, thank you for this fantastic piece and although I do not agree with it in totality, I value the viewpoint.

  103. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

  105. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

  106. I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. thanks a lot

  107. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

  109. Interesting post made here. One thing I would like to say is most professional areas consider the Bachelor Degree as the entry level standard for an online college diploma. Even though Associate College diplomas are a great way to begin, completing the Bachelors reveals many entrance doors to various careers, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online editions of their degree programs but typically for a significantly higher price than the institutions that specialize in online degree programs.

  110. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers

  114. I figured out more something totally new on this weight-loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital if dieting. A huge reduction in junk food, sugary foods, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white-colored flour products may be necessary. Holding wastes parasitic organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent ambitions for losing weight. While specified drugs temporarily solve the situation, the terrible side effects are certainly not worth it, and so they never supply more than a short lived solution. This is a known undeniable fact that 95 of dietary fads fail. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this weblog.

  115. Hey there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and terrific style and design.
