Hello,

Newbie here!

I would like to start connecting with other real estate investors and syndicators in Ohio and get the ball rolling!

Thank you

I've been debating this for so long and I just can't decide what's best. I live in Greater Vancouver, Canada.. Would it be best to invest in a non-appreciating duplex that cashflows well (in Saskatoon or Edmonton- compare to midwest for US folks) or a non-cashflowing detached home in the coastal region of Vancouver area (think Seattle!) where there is tons of appreciation but NO cashflow. We would have to supplement the rent for a few years, but these properties are million dollar homes with great value. I'm so torn. what would you do? We have a decent amount to put in for a down payment (200k) but would stay with the 20% downpayment if going with a cheaper property (400-600k). We want to maximize our money to go as far as possible. Help please!! thank you so much for any responses!!! 

Any recommendations of a solid contractor in Columbus for Rehabbing a single family. 

I hired a guy to do some drywall work, he did part of the job so I paid him 1/3 of the money (500$) then he disappeared. Just talked to his brother earlier this week, turns out he is in jail. Should I try and get my money back from him or wait till he is out of jail (no idea how long that will be). Has anyone had this happen? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hello BP Community,

My name is Jonathan Youse, I have recently moved back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio from CA. Currently my wife, daughter and I are living with family and saving steadily each month to leverage our future differently. During the transition I found a lead on a sizable SFH opportunity that requires significant renovation but has a high potential return. I began researching and self educating on Real Estate Investment.

It has been 10 days since I joined BP Pro. In that time I have secured two realtors, pre-approval for an investment property, and most critically a successful and experienced mentor with access to additional private funding. This is my starting point. If successful, the capital earned from this first experience will roll into future projects. 

If you are local to the central Ohio area and would like to connect on potential partnerships, please reach out. 

Good luck everyone.

Hello, I am an out of state investor from California looking at the Ohio Market, I was wondering what would be best practices to get financing for deals less than 70k, banks and lenders I have contacted have mentioned they dont finance deals that low. Also, if the ARV is near 100 would using hard/private money work and then refinancing? I am assuming it would be smart to have that discussion with a bank/lender if they were going to be able to refinance before doing so.

Hello everyone,

I've been spending a lot of time on Biggerpockets and listening to as many real estate podcasts as possible everyday. 

 I'm an 18-year-old aspiring real estate investor, I've been working for a little over a year now at a real estate office learning everything I can from the people around me.

 I'm currently looking for my first house hack, and because of my age, I am open to move to whichever state has the best landlord friendly laws and highest cash flow/appreciation.

My criteria is triplex/quadplex and up to $700k 

What markets can you guys recommend. Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated.  

Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a duplex in Lancaster OH I am trying to sell.  Can anyone recommend an agent in that area? Also, does anyone know what the typical commission fee is for selling an investment property? One agent mentioned they charge 7%, which seems high. 

Looking to purchase property in NE part of Columbus suburbs (<$230k) to help out a family member.  Can purchase out right, rent-to-own, or other creative ideas.  Obviously not afraid of a project for that price.  I'm an end user looking for a solution...not an investor or agent.  Please let me know.

Hi Everyone - Newbie here. How do you get financing on a home under 75K.

I have the 25% down, but talking to a lender that I have a pre-approval from; they don’t loan under $100K for a rental purchase. 

Looking to buy in Toledo, Columbus and Cleveland. 

Thanks
