    hi Steve, would love to be there but alas I am stuck in Canada ATM. Is there any way that you can get a meeting notes or something? Or maybe a list of people that attended and maybe their details- eg website etc. I understand it's for networking but some of us do invest into the market but from other areas and we do pop in and out and it would be great to know people too. What's your thoughts?

    @Nicole Holmes That's a great idea, I was planning on a sign in list with contact info and profession.

    I am going to gauge the interest in tonight's group to see if I should set up a site to post meeting notes, resources and network opportunities.

    Ill keep you posted!

    Thanks!

    @Steve Baldwin

    The retail market is pitiful so there are lots of cash deals. The AHRN web site is fairly active to attract renters form the base. My properties are predominantly sec 8. even though they are only 3-4 miles from the base.

    Still lots of cash deals with rehab needed, mostly new plumbing, electric, paint and refinish floors or carpet. typical cost $10,000. Property rehabbed to sec 8 standards will bring in $550 for a two bedroom 1 bath and up to $700 for a three bedroom one bath. Section 8 website attracts multiple tenant candidates.

    While there is probably a 12% vacancy in Dayton there is still a shortage of quality rentals. Still far too many properties I need of repair so they are counted as vacant but are not on the rental market..

    I'm hoping to make the meeting on May 12th, but Monday's are harsh and the drive may be prohibitive. How long did the first meeting last? I'm just wondering because I may arrive 30-45 minutes late...

    Hello everyone!

    Hope you all have had happy investing endeavors in and around Columbus since our last Biggerpockets meetup!

    I am wanting to fire up a summer series, although it feel like fall out there, and get some people together to network. Wholesalers, rehabbers, realtors, CONTRACTORS and more.

    I know we can help each other out and we all need it!

    Any interest?? I will be reaching out through Meetup and various FB groups! Let me know and Ill set up a location and time.

    Thanks,

    Steve
