We just had one Tuesday but the next will be July 17th!  Click the link to get on our email list and we'll send out reminders a couple times before the meeting.

 Yes this is possible, and we do it all the time in Columbus.  The problem is the seasoning.  1 year is standard, but some like 2 years seasoning before doing any type of cash out refi.

I have found that local banks are like moving targets.  They are always changing products.  I have a list of all the local Columbus banks that we reach out to annually to get an idea of what they want to lend on.  I recently found Park National Bank who has a commercial department with no min.  Maybe check them out.

To answer your question, YES, absolutely, always do a title search.  You could stuck with a whole bunch of debt that you don't want and would then be responsible for.

We're working a lot on planning and looking into the future of our business.  We own 120 units that we manage in house here in the Columbus, Oh area.  I know our properties have value, but does our BUSINESS have value.

Right now we are buying 60-80 houses per year, all of market.  We have a process, a team, a manual for this whole department.  Is this something that is sellable to another investment company?

We've recently started a property management company.  We felt that we did a great job ourselves, and want to offer our service to others who may need this service.  I also believe that a PM company is much more sellable then a marketing and acquisitions company.

What are the most sellable real estate related companies???

We are offering our expertise and experience as an education for someone getting into real estate to learn from.  We are looking for a person who is passionate about real estate and who would find benefit in learning from us.  We have done 180 deals in the last 5 years and currently own 120 units and manage in house.

We are branching out to the Dayton market and looking for someone in the area who could meet sellers at houses, take pictures, evaluate the property, put a lockbox on when we are done, meet utility companies at properties, etc.

Shoot me a PM if you have any interest in an arrangement like this!

This looks spammy, you have 400 posts and all are self promotion. Not to mention you have no profile pic, no profile information at all, and the links you send are to an outdated facebook group and a google doc???
