How does this brand of flooring hold up overtime in bathrooms? 

What size multi-family homes are you interested in and do you have an idea of what part of Cincinnati you're looking in?

Great plan Ben. Feel free to send me a message. I live in Cincinnati and am currently doing that exact thing. Best of luck in your search for your first property. Look forward to discussing this more with you.

Currently renovating a 5 unit apartment building. The hot water heater is towards the end of its life and it is a 75 gallon gas steel vent hot water heater. The units haven't been fully occupied in years. Is 75 gallon gas hot water heater sufficient enough to sustain 5 one bedroom units?

I purchased my first 5 unit building when I was 23. I was fortunate to have a college scholarship from baseball so I graduated with no student debt. I saved money and didn't spend it on meaningless things like most of my peers. I am currently rehabbing 4 of the 5 units with the help of my dad. It has been a lot of fun. Being a young investor I am more interested in long term buy and holds rather than flips. I created an LLC and use a lot of the discounts on materials that I get from my full-time job, which is in new construction. I have tried talking to my friends about investing instead of paying 700-1k in rent a month, but they seem un-interested and think it's too much work. I look forward to building this business and hope to buy my next 4 unit in 2016. It's great hearing stories of younger investors as we go through this journey and learning process together. Best of luck to everyone!

I grew up on in Anderson and still live there today.  Best of luck in your search! 

Chris, I just closed on a 5 unit apartment building on the east side of Cincinnati and currently rehabbing it. What areas in particular are you looking to purchase? Best of luck. With a construction management background you will be very successful I'm sure. Also, you could be a great asset to Cincinnati BP members!

Where in Ohio are you searching?

Anybody still have the referral information? I close on my first 5 unit on the 28th and plan on using Buildium.

After appraisal issues, renegotiating terms, and underwriter taking forever I finally have a closing date for the 5 unit!  Excited to close the 28th and get to work and get the three units rented out.  There is one tenant who is staying and agreed to new rent amount and I am living in the basement apartment.  Thanks BP members for all your guidance in this process.
