hi Gene, Isabelle already sent me an invoice for the upcoming training in March 2017. It's just frustrating dealing with government agencies. They just don't want to spend some time with my questions. I've been bounced back and forth to different agencies. 

How was your training in Mason, Ohio?

Hello, 

I'm looking into starting a residential assisted living (RAL) business in Ohio and would like to know which State of Ohio department(s) has (have) regulations on RAL. The no. of beds my property can accommodate is no more than 8 beds. Looking over at the regulations of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), if I'm not mistaken, they only have jurisdiction over facilities that house at least 17 residences. I've called and left messages to different departments and, unfortunately, I have not gotten any proper guidance. I would like to know what regulations will apply to my situation (8 beds). If you can provide the exact OAC and/or ORC rules, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Ed

Other places are much better for RE investing other than East Cleveland (bang, bang bang!) especially for beginners, in my opinion. Garfield Heights, Bedford, Maple, and Warrensville Heights are so much better and the amount of money for rehab will require a lot less $$$ because these houses so much smaller compared to the houses in East Cleveland. 

I'm with Kim Meridith Mampton... just move on if there were no damages on the property. 

@nicholas, Welcome my fellow engineer graduate! I have a degree in mechanical engineering and just left my full time engineering job 9 months ago to be a full time RE investor. I enjoyed doing this more than doing engineering calculations 5days a week. I needed a change after 26 yrs. You're on the right track! I think you're in a right location to invest. 

hi Charlene, please send me a PM. I have a perfect neighborhood that is not a war zone.

I had the same situation in the past. What I've done in the past was I gave him a list of charities to contact that provide assistance to families that are experiencing hard times. Your tenant will appreciate that more than demanding late payment from them. You will leave a bad taste in their mouth should you demand $$$.

My advise is don't nickle and dime them especially if they're taking good care of your property, not to mention paying on time. If this becomes to be a pattern, however, you have no choice but to ask them to move since you're running a business and not a charity. 

Just my two cents.... good luck.

@Ryan Arth thanks. I will be joining the Canton/Akron REIA soon. I'd like to partner up with investors who have experience in residential assisted living.
