Starting to farm in Dayton and Columbus and looking for solid general contractors that have worked with investors. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We do mostly multifamilies but do singles from time to time. 

Many thanks,

Hi All,

Finally made my decision and going to try and expand my investing portfolio to Colombus, Ohio. Looking to network with the available property managers and contractors. If there are wholesalers as well, I would love to connect with you!

Thank you for reading and looking forward to connecting!

Hi,

I am new to the BP community, and looking to invest in multifamily rentals, possibly STR or MTR. I don't know where to start, I have some accessible capital, but with the terms the bank is giving me, I am not sure that is the route I want to take. Any help with finding the right location to invest in?

Hi everyone, I've been reading here for some time now and wanted to take the plunge with my first post! I have limited experience from buying my current home in Los Angeles, CA (traditional SFH) and from buying/selling our primary residence in Seattle where I used to live, but am keen to learn more. I have some accessible cash to invest but it seems like I'm priced way out of the LA market. Based on this, I'm considering investing in other markets, with my general goal to buy and hold as a LTR to generate cashflow and build long-term equity.

I'd love to hear how others who are investing remotely in a place they don't know are figuring out which cities are good to invest in - what factors are you looking at?    After reading other posts here, I'm approaching other markets with caution, but as I want to keep my initial investment ideally under $80K down, LA doesn't seem to be a great option.  Based on population growth, climate, and friendliness to landlords I'm broadly considering Arizona (Phoenix?) or Texas (San Antonio?) but need to do a lot more work to narrow this down so would love any pointers from those more experienced than me!

Fed up with being unable to contact Nationwide for a simple question. My agent retired and I do not know my new agent but no matter which way I try to contact, they send me round in circles then I get cut off. Looking for an agent with a decent product for 2-4 units. Recommendations please.

So I am currently a Realtor but want to transition into being an investor. I hired a coach with a stellar track record and we have been working together for a few months. My goal is to make my everyday income off of being a real estate investor while I acquire rental properties. I currently rent and a 3.5% down payment on a 450K fix up house at 6.5% interest sounds daunting. Flipping sounds capital intensive to start (some people say i can raise a lot of private funds for the fix and flip and others say I need most of my own capital to start)

My question is, what should be a very rough business plan or somewhere I can aim my sights on. I feel very spread thin at the moment looking at owner financing, putting my own money 20% down on a rental, BRRRRR, fix and flip etc...

Afternoon all,

Would anyone have any advice on where to find a true duplex? I'm looking for a duplex and don't mind leaving Tampa, FL to get one but I'm having a hard time with this search. I'm running into a lot of houses that aren't actual duplexes but the agents have them listed as a duplex. 

Any advice is appreciated. 

I'm coming from out of state to visit Columbus for a full day this Thursday June 1st to view different neighborhoods, get a feel for the city, and ideally, take a look at some houses. I'm looking for semi-distressed properties in "up-and-coming" neighborhoods for a classic BRRRR. I've been trying to get ahold of a realtor I chose a few weeks ago to advise me on areas to visit and help set up showings but have come up short with hearing from him, which of course is very frustrating but alas, I come to the Columbus BP community for guidance.

Are there any specific B to C+ neighborhoods you would recommend looking at? I've got $100k cash and lending preapproval - ideally looking in the $115k-$175k range with the idea of adding some renovation value into the home.

Also, if any knowledgable Columbus investors are available this Thursday June 1st for a meetup to shed some knowledge, lunch is on me!
