Buckeye Lake, OH: building a team

Howdy! 

Looking to start with my first rental. Open to most Ohio markets. I'm focused on: Buckeye Lake, Newark, Heath, Granville, Columbus, Delaware, Zanesville, Port Clinton, and Sandusky.  I live around and frequent those areas and know them and the markets. Sick of books, podcasts, interviews, articles. I'm ready to pull the trigger and take action. 


***I'm looking to JV with a capital partner. I'd be the operating partner***

Interests:
-small multifamily (<5). BRRRR for long term rental. Possibility of short term rental, depending on area.

Other interests and experience researching/analyzing:
-apartments, self-storage, parking lots, mobile home parks, small commercial, and house flipping 

I'm looking for properties in need of rehab and off market, ideally. Foreclosures and pre-foreclosures would be preferred, but everyone wants that.

To expand my network, looking for:

1. Wholesalers

2. Private or hard money lenders

3. Contractors

4. Agents

I appreciate any input, thanks.
